DUBLIN: WhatsApp has started offering instant video messaging that gives users the option of sending a clip of up to 60 seconds long into text chats.

The Meta-owned messaging application said the option would work along the same lines as its in-chat voice messaging or notes feature. "Just tap to switch to video mode, and hold to record the video," are the instructions.
