WhatsApp is testing a feature for its iOS users in which the user can share a video of at least 1 minute on WhatsApp status. However, this update is currently available for selected beta testers. Earlier, only 30 second status was visible on WhatsApp status in which half of the message was told to the user. Keeping this user feedback in mind. WhatsApp has now increased its time limit to 1 minute.
As you all can see in this screenshot. Some beta testers linked to their discussion. Want to make the private chat folder more secure? And although the user has to create a new secret code to open his chat folder. After filling it in the search box, the user can see the locked chat. To configure a secret code, they need to create it from their primary phone by opening the secret code screen within the locked chat list. Once they have configured the secret code.
So their protected conversations will disappear from the chat list on their linked device and will be exclusively accessible through the locked chat screen. It's worth noting that the secret code is also synchronized across all their linked devices, ensuring consistent access to protected conversations using the same passcode.The company believes that implementing this feature on the device will further help in securing both privacy and users.
