The instant messaging service has released two new features, one dedicated to video playback and the other that allows you to send and receive GIFs
WhatsApp in view of the holidays gives its Android users two new features. From now on the instant messaging service we can see the videos while we are downloading them and in addition we can send GIFs and receive them. A nice novelty also in view of the Christmas greetings.
The function for streaming videos. Now you can see videos while we are downloading them: the new feature is very useful and makes conversations via WhatsApp faster. Before the release, the service for playing videos while downloading was tested on Android users in India and in the beta version of the instant messaging app. With the new feature, you can continue chatting while the video is finishing loading, making the interaction between people much faster.
GIFs on WhatsApp
Through the Attach File button with WhatsApp’s new features, you will also be able to send GIFs. And you will also be able to crop the animated images before sending them. The application will create an “Animated GIF” folder inside its directory where received GIFs will also be stored. The new feature is especially meant for the holiday season to send user-friendly GIFs. WhatsApp had already introduced the ability to send animated images on the iPhone, now it extends the feature to Android as well. These two new features are dedicated to Android users and will be available in the Google Play Store in the latest WhatsApp update.
