WhatsApp to extend video length limit to a minute for status updates

WhatsApp is working on a new feature for its Staus functionality as part of its beta programme.

WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.6 update introduces the ability to share videos of up to a minute in length via status updates, WABETAINFO reported.

The company is releasing the feature with the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.10.10.74 update for iPhone users.

Until now, users could only share videos that are up to 30 seconds long on their Staus. Now, WhatsApp aims to grant users improved flexibility, allowing them to share longer stories.

The web portal reported that WhatsApp is also developing a quick note-taking feature that will allow users to attach notes to their contacts.

The feature offers a convenient way to add personalized information about specific contacts.

The company is working on further refining this feature by introducing the ability to add messages to notes, as discovered in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.9.17 update.
