The video note mode is a feature that lets users share a quick video, instead of a full-fledged video recording. Users can send this video in chats. The feature can be accessed by opening the camera within a chat and then swiping from left to right until you see the “VIDEO NOTE” mode.

If you are a beta user on Android or iOS and haven’t seen the feature, firstly, update the app from respective stores, i.e. Play Store and App Store.

Upon successful testing, the feature is expected to be rolled out to the public. Usually, such features arrive in the stable update after several months of their availability in the beta updates. That said, we can expect it to reach the stable version of WhatsApp later this year.

Other than this, WhatsApp is working on several other features to make users’ experience better and more feature-rich. One such feature was spotted on the Android beta for Meta AI. Meta AI was already available for various tasks, but in the latest beta version, some users spotted the ability to create their own avatar using AI. For this, users have to take their own pictures and then let Meta AI do the task of creating cool AI avatars, which you can set as your profile picture.

WhatsApp also recently introduced the “Event” feature to everyone that allows users to create an event in a group chat. Members in a group chat can respond to the event, letting others know if they are going or not. Users can also add a  WhatsApp Call link if it’s a virtual event.
