Almost every week we have new things to say about WhatsApp News that arrive through updates or that will foreseeably arrive in the future no far away. Today we have to talk about a new functionality that will allow us to enjoy the videos we receive through this messaging service in a much more comfortable way.
The new feature, which has already been discovered, noffers you the ability to watch videos within chats It's about the already known Android 8 OreoPicture in Picture mode, with which users can continue to see what is happening in a given application, within a second window, while they are managing something else.This is useful for Google maps or YouTube videos.
But this novelty that will come to WhatsApp, within the Google Play beta program, is still in its infancy. Users who update to this version and who are therefore within the beta program will have the opportunity to enjoy the functionality before it is released to the general public. Although it won't be right now.
However, please note that the WhatsApp team is still hard at work on incorporating this feature. And the truth is that there are still many obstacles that must be overcome. It is possible that in future versions of WhatsApp beta we will have the opportunity to test it
How we can see videos within the chats
The functionality will come in future updates and will allow users to watch YouTube and Instagram videos within WhatsApp, using Image mode in Picture or Picture in Picture.
As shown in the screenshot published by WaBetaInfo, what users will see will be some small highlighted boxes, in which will include the link of the video question. A small sample image and a play button will also appear at the top of the box.
To enjoy the video without having to leave the chat, all you have to do is activate playback. As long as you keep moving through the chat, the small video playback window will continue to appear at one end, so even if you're chatting or reading messages, you will continue to listen and see the content without problems. The same operation will apply to both YouTube and Instagram videos.
