WhatsApp has finally released a new feature that allows users to skip forward and backward in videos, similar to how you can do on YouTube. This is a long-awaited feature that has been requested by users for years.
To use the new feature, simply double-tap on the left or right side of the screen to skip back or forward 10 seconds, respectively. You can also tap and hold on either side of the screen to manually rewind or fast-forward the video.
The new feature is available to both Android and iOS users, and it is rolling out gradually. If you don’t have the feature yet, don’t worry, it should be available to you soon.
Here are some tips for using WhatsApp’s new video skipping feature:
- Use the double-tap feature to quickly skip forward or backward 10 seconds. This is the fastest way to skip through a video.
- Tap and hold on either side of the screen to rewind or fast-forward the video manually. This is useful if you need to skip to a specific part of the video, or if you want to rewind or fast-forward at a different speed.
- If you’re watching a long video, consider using the progress bar to skip to a specific part of the video. The progress bar shows you how far along you are in the video, and you can tap on it to skip to a specific point.
- If you’re watching a video with spoilers, you can use the video skipping feature to avoid spoilers. For example, if you’re watching a trailer for a movie and you don’t want to see the ending, you can skip ahead to the part where the credits start.
- If you missed something in a video, you can use the video skipping feature to rewind to that part and watch it again. This is useful for educational videos, or for videos that you’re watching with subtitles.
- If you’re watching a video and it’s getting boring, you can use the video skipping feature to fast-forward to the next interesting part. This is especially useful for long videos, or for videos that have a lot of slow-paced scenes.
Overall, WhatsApp’s new video skipping feature is a great way to save time and improve your viewing experience. With this new feature, you can quickly and easily skip to the parts of the video that you want to see, and avoid the parts that you don’t want to see.
