WhatsApp has introduced a brand-new feature. This time around, the latest in a raft of new additions over the recent weeks and months sees users able to watch shared videos in a small window in the main chat client. That means you can carry on chatting with friends while enjoying videos they send!

Most users should see the picture-in-picture feature immediately, as it was a server-side update. If you can't see videos in a picture-in-picture window then you may need to manually update WhatsApp. Last month's update now allowa users of the popular platform to private message while IN a group chat.

It means you'll be able to reply to specific group members - keeping your message invisible to everyone else. WhatsApp has enabled a new feature called "Reply Privately" in the beta version of the app. As the name suggests, it allows you to privately reply to a message received in a group.
