Whatsapp video status reduced to 15 seconds from 30 seconds due to coronavirus

If you like to put new status videos on WhatsApp every day, then there is bad news for you. WhatsApp will now be allowed to hold only 15 seconds of status video. Whereas the first 30 second Status videos could be put.


Many users are not happy with this change. They are expressing displeasure. According to the sources, the pressure on the Internet network in the country has increased due to the lockdown, because people locked in homes are now using mobile more.

This step has been taken to reduce traffic on server infrastructure in lockdown in India. However, no official statement has yet been made by WhatsApp regarding this change.

Along with this, people working at home are also using the Internet a lot. In this regard, a tweet was made by WBTInfo on Sunday. The tweet said that you can no longer make 16 second videos on WhatsApp States. Only videos up to 15 seconds are allowed. This decision has been taken in India and it is a major initiative to reduce the pressure on server infrastructure.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
You can no longer send videos to WhatsApp Status if they are longer than 16 seconds: only videos having a duration of 15 seconds will be allowed.
This is happening in India and it's probably an initiative to reduce the traffic on the server infrastructures.
