CAMERA VIDEO NOTE MODE
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.14.14 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a feature to bring a video note mode to the camera. This feature was designed to enhance the process of recording and sharing video notes by allowing users to capture video messages directly within the camera interface. It appears that WhatsApp now intends to offer iOS users the same opportunity to record video notes from the camera as it does for the Android version. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.13.10.76 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to bring a video note mode to the camera!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, some beta testers can experiment with a new camera mode for sharing video notes in their chats. This mode allows users to easily record video notes directly within the camera interface, eliminating the need to tap and hold the camera icon in the chat bar and providing them with a unified method for capturing and sharing video messages.
We believe that this feature can finally address user confusion about recording video notes. WhatsApp had previously modified the ways users could start and send video notes, as they could record video notes by switching from voice note mode some months ago. This might have caused confusion among users when WhatsApp opted for the camera icon instead of the microphone button to record video messages. By adding an alternate way to record video notes directly from the camera, WhatsApp is making it easier for users to understand and use the video note feature. This additional mode not only simplifies the process but also helps the feature gain more visibility, encouraging more users to discover and record video notes.
A video note mode feature for the camera is available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming days.
