New WhatsApp feature will enable users to share motion photos

By
WhatsApp
WhatsApp is working on an exciting new feature that will allow users to share motion photos in chats, groups, and channels, and it will be rolled out in a future update.

The popular Meta-owned instant-messaging app announced the new feature in its latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.8.12 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, according to WABetaInfo.

Motion photos are a type of media format that captures a brief moment of movement before and after a photo is taken. Unlike traditional images, motion photos include a few seconds of video and audio, providing an immersive way to capture memories.

This feature is particularly popular on certain mobile devices, as it bridges the gap between photos and videos by adding a touch of animation to snapshots.

These motion photos are often saved in specialised formats that combine static images with short video clips, allowing users to relive moments with a single tap, expanding the app's media-sharing capabilities.

When users attempt to open the gallery sheet, they can expect to see a new button specifically for motion photos. This button will give users the option to choose between sending the static image or the motion photo version, if available, offering greater flexibility depending on the context.

While the motion photo-sharing feature is still in development, it is expected to be compatible with both individual and group chats, as well as channels.

Additionally, recipients will automatically view the motion photo in its animated form, even if the feature is not supported on their device. Meanwhile, for iOS users, these motion photos will likely appear as Live Photos.
