According to a report by WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo, the ability to mute videos has appeared in WhatsApp 2.20.207.2 beta for Android, with the help of which you can mute the video before sharing it with a contact or creating a status.
According to the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, there will be a speaker icon for mute, located near the duration and file size details of the video to be shared. By clicking on this icon, you can mute the video on WhatsApp even before sending it.
It is being said that work is going on on this new feature, currently this feature is present in beta testing phase. However, in the coming time it will be made live for the update for Android WhatsApp users.
Apart from the mute video option, WABetaInfo’s report also states that WhatsApp is working on a ‘Read Later’ feature, which will eventually replace the existing Archive Chats feature. It is being said that this new feature is part of WhatsApp 2.20.130.16 beat for iPhone.
In some screenshots shared by WABetaInfo, it can be seen that the ‘Read Later’ feature will allow users to archive some chats whose notifications they do not want to receive. Users will also be given an Edit button, under which they can select the chats they want to unarchive immediately. By tapping on the edit button, the Edit Archive Settings option will also be available, with the help of which one can make changes in the archive chats.
There is speculation regarding the new ‘Read Later’ feature that it is being worked on along with the new ‘Vacation Mode’, which has also been in the works for a long time but is yet to be made public. At the same time, like the video mute feature, the read letter feature is also currently under development stage, which can be made available with the upcoming updates.
