Che fine hanno fatto i video messaggi WhatsApp?
In 2025, WhatsApp continues to support sending video messages through an easily accessible feature known as video notes. Users can send videos up to 60 seconds directly in chats by pressing and holding the camera icon next to the text field, either recording with the front or back camera. Lock mode allows hands-free recording by sliding upward while holding the camera button, and users can stop, cancel, or send the video note once done [1] [2].
Additional controls include flipping the camera during recording and replying directly to video notes by pressing and holding the camera button after viewing a video [1]. These video notes are a popular method for personalized communication, as they capture tone and expressions better than text or voice notes [4].
In early 2025, WhatsApp also introduced options to activate or enable instant video messages within the chat settings, making it more convenient to toggle this feature on or off as needed [3]. Further WhatsApp updates throughout 2025 include enhancements like video call effects, background blur, screen sharing, AI chatbots, and message editing, which enrich the overall messaging experience including with video content [4] [5].
For privacy-conscious users, WhatsApp supports "view once" media including videos that disappear after being opened, ensuring that sensitive or temporary videos can be shared securely [10].
To summarize, WhatsApp video messaging in 2025 involves:
- Video notes (up to 60 seconds), with front/rear camera and lock mode for hands-free recording
- Video replies and info on who played the video note
- Ability to enable/disable instant video messages in settings
- Additional richer video call and messaging features enhancing communication
- Support for ephemeral "view once" videos for privacy
These features are all integrated within the app’s chat interface, making WhatsApp video messaging a versatile and widely used communication tool in 2025.
