For users of iPhone 6s and newer models, it is now possible to send "live" photos. For everyone else, the function of converting short clips up to 6 seconds in length into animation is available. Record your own emotion on video and, having formatted it, send it to a friend with a note "in case of important negotiations".
The updated app is currently available only in the iOS version. In Google Play, the messenger, according to the developers, will appear a little later. It is possible that along with Giphy support, WhatsApp for Android will receive a "Status" function that allows users to share their mood using photos or videos.
For the first time, the possibility of similar publications appeared in the Snapchat application, and later — in Instagram*, where it was called "Stories". The function is very popular and has become a new trend in social networks.
