WhatsApp Update: Mute Video Feature is Rolling Out for Android Users

Whatsapp has been testing a new feature called Mute Video that allows the users to mute videos before sharing them or before adding a status. This feature is similar to Instagram and Snapchat, where we can take a video and mute the voice before sharing it. Though, it is a small feature but is useful.

Now Mute Videos Before Sending or Uploading A Status

The popular messaging app has been updated and is now rolling out a mute button. While you capture a video, you can preview it before sending it. On this screen, you will see few editing tools where the mute button is also available. If you enable the button, the recipients will not hear anything in the video. As of now, this feature is rolled out only for Android users.

Whatsapp has announced the new feature by posting a tweet;

For your eyes, not your ears. You can now mute the audio on your videos before adding them to your Status or sending in chat. Now available on Android.
