The latest version of the WhatsApp messenger has received a new feature that will be useful for fans of streaming Netflix video. It is reported that the messenger has received integration with the streaming service of the same name. In particular, now when a user shares a direct link to a Netflix series or movie trailer, you can watch it directly in WhatsApp itself without leaving the application. The report also states that video viewing supports PiP (picture in picture) mode.
So far, video playback directly in WhatsApp is only available to owners of iOS devices. In addition, you need to install the latest test build of the application. So far, there is no word on a possible innovation for Android users.
This functionality is similar to what WhatsApp offers for platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. As already mentioned, it is being tested on the iOS platform. If you are part of the beta program, you will need to update to the latest version to see this feature.
About a year ago, WhatsApp added watching videos from Instagram and Facebook in the app, so presumably more services will be added, but the developers have not yet commented on this.
