You may have noticed but WhatsApp has disabled video messaging feature which premiered just a few months ago. Yes, the one in the style of Telegram and other messaging apps that allow you to quickly record and send video messages just as you record and send audio messages.

Why did WhatsApp do such a thing? Well, it’s not clear, but maybe the features and usage confused some users. After all, it is how to send an audio messageby holding down the microphone button to the right of the message field while speaking and releasing your finger to send.

The trick is that you can switch between one mode and the other with a simple press (with other combinations available to continue recording without pressing), and it’s likely that given the level of implementation of WhatsApp and the wide range of people who use the app, there isn’t one who messed with the news. You’re going to find out.

The thing is that the video messaging feature of WhatsApp disappeared from view because the update disabled it. But it’s easy to put it back in its proper place if you’re interested in re-sending those round mini-videos, which of course last a maximum of one minute. Follow these steps to reactivate it:

1. Enter the configuration
2. Enter the chat section
3. Activate the “Instant Video Messaging” option.

And it is done. Note that you need to tap the icon to switch between audio and video messages; After that, the operation is the same.
