WhatsApp, the most popular messaging service, has started the year well. The company has decided to add new features to its app to keep growing and out-feature rivals like Telegram. We recently learned that WhatsApp was updating its application with the possibility of listening to voice messages before sending them. We also saw the first Stickers, as well as the possibility of withdrawing the administrator privilege in a service group. Now, the new feature is designed for the most consumers of content, because through WABetaInfo we have learned that the app is supporting YouTube videosNext, we will tell you how we can view them without having to leave the app.
At the moment, this option is reaching all users who have WhatsApp on the iOS operating system. To enjoy this feature you must have at least version 2.18.10, or 1.18.11. They are updatable from the App Store. Watching a YouTube video on WhatsApp is very simple. First of all, some contact must share the video through a chat or a group You can also share one by copying and pasting the link, or by clicking the button YouTube share. Once we have the video in the chat, the preview and the link will appear. Directly, we can press Play and reproduce it.
It is also possible to view the video through the 'Picture in Picture' function available on iOS. Of course, if we change the chat the video will close. We can also enlarge it to full screen as long as we are inside the conversation.
For the moment exclusive to iOS
As confirmed by WABetaInfo, this feature is only coming to iOS users. It seems that WhatsApp has no plans to introduce it even on Android nor on Windows Phone any time soon. We will have to wait a while for this feature to reach everyone. At the moment, if you are an iOS user, you will soon receive the update on the App Store and you will be able to enjoy this function.
