"Video messages on WhatsApp will work similarly to voice notes, but with the added benefit of capturing and sharing video content," said WaBetaInfo.

With the help of video messages, you can convey your emotions andexpressions in a better way compared to sending a voice message of the text.

This feature may bemore appropriate at times rather than sending a text message or a voice note. When a user wants to show someone how to use a new product or explain something visually, he can use this feature.

In cases like this, video messages can play a morecomprehensive role in communication.

WhatsApp always makes sure to ensure the privacy of its users and the video messages will also be end-to-end encrypted. No one would be able to see your messages including the app, end-to-end encrypted.

"In addition, it won’t be possible to save or forward video messages to other conversations for added privacy, but screenshots are still allowed," said the app-tracking website.
