Whatsapp is currently testing a new feature that will allow users to view YouTube videos directly on WhatsApp platform without it taking you to another app in other to watch the video.
Currently, if you click a link to YouTube, it will take you out of whatsapp app, in which you will have to switch back to continue your conversation.
However, this new feature will allow YouTube link to play directly on the whatsapp app instead of taking you to another app to watch the video.
You also need to note that, the playback will stop immediately you switch to another chat.
It supports pinch-to-zoom, full screen view mode, and also capable of hiding playback for user to continue reading chat.
Apart from this, it also enables playback to launch in picture-in-picture window.
The feature is currently available on iOS, with support for device from iPhone 6 above, Android and windows users will have to wait a little while as testing is going fine on iOS.
