WhatsApp allows you to post videos of up to 30 seconds in length in your status, and people have been requesting the platform to increase the limit. Well, the company has heard and it is extending the limit of videos that you can post in your status.
According to a new report from WABetaInfo, the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android (version 2.24.7.6) allows you to post videos of up to 60 seconds or one minute in length in your status. The publication says that the company is rolling out the feature to a limited number of users and that you will need to have the latest version of the app not only for posting longer videos but also for watching videos that have a duration of more than 30 seconds.
Up until now, people had to post multiple status updates to share a video that’s longer than 30 seconds in length. With the latest change, if the video they want to share has a duration of one minute or less, they can share it in a single status update. At the moment, there’s no information about when WhatsApp will start rolling out the latest update to the stable version of the app. Expect it to happen after it thoroughly tests the feature, which could take a few weeks.
