WhatsApp, the globally popular messaging app owned by Meta, continues to enhance its feature set to cater to the diverse needs of its users. After rolling out the ability to adjust video playback speeds on iOS in October, the app is now extending this functionality to Android users.
Will WhatsApp Introduce Video Speed Control on Android?
In the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android (version 2.24.26.20), currently available on the Google Play Store, select users have begun testing this exciting new feature. The update allows users to modify video playback speeds, providing options such as normal speed, 1.5x, and 2.0x. This feature is seamlessly integrated into the video progress bar, enabling users to switch speeds effortlessly without disrupting their viewing experience.
This enhancement is particularly useful for users who frequently watch tutorials, lectures, or other informative videos on WhatsApp, allowing them to consume content at their preferred pace.
Additionally, WhatsApp is making strides to improve its overall user experience. In the United States, users can now interact with ChatGPT via phone calls or text messages. Meanwhile, iOS users are enjoying an update designed to reduce the number of daily interactions required for common tasks, alongside improved call functionalities—a timely upgrade during the holiday season.
Tips for Android Users:
- If you’re part of the beta program, ensure your app is updated to version 2.24.26.20 to try out the new feature.
- Experiment with different playback speeds to find the one that suits your viewing needs best.
