WhatsApp Video Messages Users Disable Feature
WhatsApp has recently unveiled an innovative feature, christened ‘Instant WhatsApp Video Messages, ‘ which revolutionizes sending and receiving concise video messages. This feature mirrors the mechanics of sharing voice messages and empowers users to dispatch brief video missives at the mere press of a virtual button.
User Concerns
However, this functionality appears to have stirred some consternation among users due to its shared usage with the button designated for audio messages. Consequently, users have lamented inadvertently transmitting video messages instead of intended audio notes. Fortunately, WhatsApp has been receptive to user feedback and is presently in the throes of assessing a means to deactivate this feature’s operation.
WhatsApp Video Messages Beta Update
Per an illuminating report by WABetaInfo, the most recent iteration of WhatsApp’s beta version incorporates a toggle mechanism, affording users the expeditious ability to suspend the ‘Instant WhatsApp Video Messages’ attribute. Upon deactivation, the microphone icon, conventionally nestled at the screen’s lower-right extremity, reverts to its default functionality, enabling the seamless exchange of voice notes. It’s important to note that deactivating this toggle does not impede others from dispatching video messages your way.
How to Deactivate Instant Video Messages
In order to deactivate ‘Instant WhatsApp Video Messages,’ launch WhatsApp and look for the three dots in the upper-right corner, then, open the app’s ‘Settings’ submenu and navigate to the ‘Chats’ area. In this domain, there is a toggle that is appropriately named “Instant Video Messages.” When this switch is flipped, the functionality will become inactive instantly.
Right now, ‘Instant Video Messages’ is only available to WhatsApp enthusiasts using versions 23.18.1.70 on iOS and 2.23.18.21 on Android. The stable version’s integration is approaching, hinting at its ultimate ubiquity—though not before some time has passed before the toggle adorns your smartphone.
Conclusion
Earlier this month, WhatsApp introduced a number of new features, such as the creation of anonymous groups and the reinforcement of screen-sharing during video conferences.
