I love how WhatsApp is slowly and steadily adding features that make the overall experience a lot better. Sure, it might not be as fast as some of its contemporaries when it comes to adding new features, but it ensures that the features that are eventually coming to the platform are useful in many ways. Now, we have received information on a number of features that could be making their way to the Meta-owned instant messaging soon.

New WhatsApp features look to improve the overall user experience, with plenty of features to come

Based on the information spotted by WABetaInfo, we know that some new features are coming to WhatsApp. Users in the future will be able to send video messages. This option is going to work in tandem with the ability to send voice messages. In the case of video messages, you will be able to send video messages that are 60 seconds long, so if you do want to make things personal, this is a great way to get started.

The new video message feature is currently rolling out to select users who are using the iOS or Android version of the app. You cannot forward video messages to anyone, but there is, of course, the ability to screen record and share them. However, we are not sure if there will be some sort of privacy protection on the ability to screen-record video messages, but we will keep you posted.

The source also claims that WhatsApp is currently working on a feature that would let you send and receive photos in HD. For those who don't know, all media shared through the app goes through some heavy compression. However, with this new feature, you might be able to get a lowered compression, allowing for even higher-quality media.

As mentioned before, WhatsApp has been working on a steady stream of features for a larger audience. The platform recently introduced Channels, as well as the ability to share screens during video calls, and we have heard that it is also working on a feature that would let you choose unique usernames so other people can add you on WhatsApp without actually having to need your phone numbers. Despite the fact that all the features we have talked about and perhaps a lot more are in active development, it still is going to take time before they start rolling out to a broader audience,
