WhatsApp Adds Picture-in-Picture Mode Support for Watching ShareChat Videos in Beta

 

WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out ShareChat video support for Android and iOS beta users. All users on WhatsApp v2.20.81.3 beta for iOS and WhatsApp v2.20.197.7 beta for Android can watch ShareChat videos in-app through a floating video, similar to how it works for YouTube and Facebook video links. Similarly, the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS suggests that the social messaging giant is working on the ability to allow user customisation of wallpapers in chats. This means that once this feature is live, users will be able to enable different wallpapers in different chats.

WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp is enabling support for ShareChat video in its most recent beta versions for Android and iPhone. The tracker notes that the feature may not be available for everyone immediately, but within 24 hours, the user will be able to use it. As mentioned, the feature is reported to be working on WhatsApp v2.20.81.3 beta for iPhone and WhatsApp v2.20.197.7 beta for Android.

This support brings the possibility to play videos shared on ShareChat within WhatsApp. Once a ShareChat video is shared on WhatsApp, a video box with the play icon will be shown in the chat. Once you press on the play button, the video would start playing in picture-in-picture mode within WhatsApp.
