WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging program, has released new capabilities for the iOS platform. The new features include a camera mode for filming videos hands-free and the ability to share up to 100 media files in a chat at the same time. Both functionalities are present in the iOS app’s beta edition. Their wider distribution will occur at a later time.
New WhatsApp features
WhatsApp is always developing new features in order to compete with its rival Telegram. The Meta-owned company has now chosen to roll out capabilities to facilitate file sharing and video recording. The company is gradually but steadily introducing new features. It must do so if it is to stand out in a crowded market.
How to use the new video mode on WhatsApp?
Users using the WhatsApp beta for iOS can switch to video mode with a single tap. They no longer have to press and hold to record videos. They can also switch from front to back camera while recording and vice versa. The feature is included in app version 23.3.0.74. If you do not receive it, please wait for a future application update.
Increased file sharing limit is offered on 3 app versions
Beta testers who have downloaded the most recent version of WhatsApp for iOS from TestFlight can share up to 100 media files (including photos and videos) within a chat at the same time. This feature is available in firmware versions 23.3.0.75, 23.3.0.73, and 23.3.0.74. Users of the basic app can now share up to 30 files at once. They will receive the new facilities within the next several days.
Status updates have received a host of features
When it comes to status updates, WhatsApp has also released a slew of new capabilities. Link previews on statuses, voice statuses, status replies, private audience selection, and status profile rings for new updates are among the features. The most recent features are available in stable versions of WhatsApp for Android, iOS, and desktop. Users from all over the world can access them.
