WhatsApp, one of the world's most widely used messaging applications, has continuously evolved to meet user demands. Initially, the platform permitted only 30-second video statuses. This was later extended to 1 minute, and now, in an upcoming update, it will further increase to 2 minutes.

This feature upgrade will be available for both Android and iPhone users. Once the update is rolled out, users can install the latest version of WhatsApp to take advantage of the extended status duration. The change is expected to benefit those who frequently share video content, making the status feature more engaging and versatile.

With WhatsApp constantly introducing new features to improve communication, this update reflects the app's commitment to enhancing user experience. The exact release date for the update has yet to be announced, but users can expect it in the coming weeks.
