WhatsApp Status will no longer upload videos longer than 15 seconds, know the reason

WhatsApp Status shows your contact for only 24 hours. After that, it is automatically deleted. However, it will be interesting to see now whether this step of WhatsApp reduces the load of server infrastructure.

Due to Coronavirus Lockdown people are locked in their homes. The only platform they have to connect with the outside world is the online platform. Due to the increase in the number of users, different steps are being taken to control the increasing pressure on the network. YouTube, Netflix, and other sites have taken several steps.

These include decisions such as lower bitrate and reduced resolution to default. WhatsApp has also taken similar steps regarding its 'status' section. Instant messaging app WhatsApp will no longer allow users in India to share videos longer than 15 seconds in status.

WABetaInfo was first informed about this change. We have tested the latest beta (v2.20.107) and stable builds (v2.20.89) on Android's WhatsApp, and can now independently confirm that users no longer share videos longer than 15 seconds on their WhatsApp status Can do. Now if you try to share a video longer than 15 seconds on your status, you will see a text written on the app "The video sent for My Status will be trimmed to the first 15 seconds."

However, this message is a bit confusing. Because the video is not trim the first 15 seconds, you can post in My Status by choosing any 15 second part of this video. All you have to do is to choose any 15 second part of the frame of the entire video, then upload it. At the moment, this change will only happen in India.

According to reports, this 15-second status video has been taken to reduce the traffic on the server infrastructure. However, the official statement has not been made by WhatsApp about this change. We have contacted WhatsApp in this regard. We will update you as soon as you get an answer. However, many people are not happy with this 15-second status video change. Explain that the WhatsApp status you set makes your contact visible only for 24 hours. After that, it is automatically deleted. However, it will be interesting to see now whether this step of WhatsApp reduces the load of server infrastructure.
