WhatsApp is introducing a new update for select beta testers that increases the maximum length of status videos to 90 seconds, up from the previous 60-second limit. This enhancement builds on last year’s change, which doubled the original 30-second cap.
The update allows users to share longer, uninterrupted video clips without needing to manually split them, making the content-sharing experience smoother and more expressive. Early beta users have praised the feature for offering greater creative freedom and improved storytelling.
Meta is rolling out the update gradually, so availability may vary among beta testers. The extended video limit is expected to be welcomed by users who frequently use WhatsApp Status to connect with friends and family.
