WhatsApp To Enable Forwarding Of Outgoing Video Messages Soon: All You Need To Know

WhatsApp is gearing up to introduce a new feature that allows users to forward outgoing video messages . According to a report from WABetaInfo, beta testers have been given access to explore this upcoming feature, which simplifies the process of forwarding video messages across different conversations.

Previously, WhatsApp users faced challenges when attempting to share video messages due to the lack of a forwarding option in updates.

This limitation made sharing video messages a more cumbersome task, often requiring manual recording or less efficient workarounds like screen recording.

The introduction of this new forwarding feature is expected to streamline the process, enhancing user experience and communication efficiency. Importantly, while users will soon be able to forward outgoing video messages, the ability to forward incoming voice notes from other contacts remains unavailable, preserving privacy and communication confidentiality.

“The introduction of this feature might bring significant advantages to users as they can quickly share video messages with multiple contacts without having to recreate the same message. This saves time and ensures they do not need to record the same content multiple times, and it is particularly useful for those who frequently share video messages with their friends, family, or colleagues,” states the report.

WhatsApp has also introduced the passkey feature for iPhone users in recent updates. With passkeys , iPhone users can now access their WhatsApp accounts using FaceID, TouchID, or passwords. Passkeys offer users a convenient alternative to cumbersome passwords by integrating biometrics and secure PINs.

Championed by the FIDO Alliance and supported by major industry players such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft, passkeys represent a significant advancement in online security. These digital credentials, securely stored in your device's enclave and synchronized across your iCloud Keychain, help mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with traditional passwords.
