WhatsApp has been rolling out some nifty features to both Android and iOS lately. More so to iPhone users. The Facebook-owned messaging platform recently made its beta app available to the public and now it is reportedly testing another feature for users who often receive video messages. WhatsApp is said to be testing an in notification video playback feature for the iOS users. Although the messaging platform is yet to reveal official details regarding the feature and when it will roll out to the users.

What Is It, How It Works?
Currently, if a WhatsApp user gets a video as a message, they will need to open the WhatsApp app and then the chat to watch the video. But now, WhatsApp reportedly is making this process a little more easier. The instant messaging app is said to be testing a feature which will apparently let users watch the video message on the notification panel itself. Basically, like with the new in notification video playback, the users will be able to watch the videos on the notification shade itself and will not need to open the app.
As of now, reports claim that the feature will be available only to the iOS users. This means Android users will need to wait for some time to get this video WhatsApp feature.
According to a report coming from WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is rolling out this video feature in the push notification for iOS beta users. The report also notes that all iOS beta users updated to the latest version of the app, that is, 2.18.102.5 version will be able to use this feature.
