With each iterative update, WhatsApp is making the most requested features available to its user base. The Facebook-owned messenger has today rolled out an update for its iOS app, allowing users to watch YouTube videos right within the app itself. You no longer have to leave the messaging app to binge on videos while texting your friends.
Now, when you receive a YouTube link on WhatsApp, you simply need to tap on the same to view the video in picture-in-picture mode right inside the chat window. You can then choose to stay and chat in the same window or navigate to another chat as the video continues to play. You can see how the YouTube videos appear within the WhatsApp chat window underneath.
Though the changelog on the App Store mentions that the feature has been rolled out with the latest update,. We have been tipped about the same by well-known WhatsApp leakster WABetaInfo, who said that the feature is going to be enabled today.
