SKIP FORWARD AND BACKWARD
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.24.6 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a feature to skip forward and backward videos. In addition, some users could record and share instant video messages directly in the chat, as announced in the article regarding the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.12.0.71 update. A few hours ago, the WhatsApp for iOS 24.6.77 update was released on the App Store. Thanks to the official changelog, we discovered that WhatsApp is finally rolling out these features to everyone with the latest update!
The official changelog mentions that WhatsApp is releasing a feature to instantly record and send video messages in chats. In reality, the feature has been available in previous updates, but users can now record video messages by long pressing the camera button next to the text field in a conversation to get started. In addition, WhatsApp is widely rolling out another feature to quickly forward and rewind videos by double tapping the edge of a video, enhancing video navigation and skipping less relevant parts. Lastly, WhatsApp highlights that all users can now experiment with a new design for the attachment tray, as spotted in the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.24.10.70 update.
If you don't have one of these features, note that some accounts may receive them over the coming weeks, as indicated in the official changelog. Please stay ahead by regularly updating WhatsApp from the App Store and the TestFlight app to get these features in the future in case you don't have them after installing this update. By staying proactive in updating your app, you can ensure that you're always equipped with the latest and most advanced features WhatsApp has to offer.
A feature to forward and rewind videos, video messages, and the tweaked attachment tray are available for iOS users who install the latest update of WhatsApp from the App Store. Make sure to install this update to enjoy a better user experience.
