A new and engaging function is coming for WhatsApp users: both for iOS and Android, in fact, it will be possible to share short sequences of Moving photo As already happens of default in Apple devices.
How it works
In practice, some beta testers are experimenting with a new method to send multimedia content with the addition of short sequences concerning the sound: the new function, available after installing the last update, will be available after the appearance of a short message within the chats that warn users of the new availability. “THEThe support of the moving photos in WhatsApp is also a practical improvement, since users do not need third -party apps to share movement -based content “, explain the experts of Wabetainfo.
Devices already prepared
They are already numerous of Android devices with this function: among these we find Samsung Galaxy smartphones (function called “Motion Photo) but also on the Google Pixel devices that offer it with the name of” Top Shot “or” Motion Photos “.” QUeast devices automatically acquire a few seconds before and after the shutter pressure, creating a short video clip attached to the fixed image “, add the experts. On Pixel Pro models, however, those who want to use the “top shot” function may be forced to temporarily deactivate the high resolution to avoid interference: if the option is removed, here “top shot” works correctly without incurring the risk of blocking the automatic acquisition functions of the movement.
The dynamic photos
The WhatsApp developers explain that the moving photos record a few moments before and after the shot making the memories more dynamic and differ from the individual frames to which we are used to. In many cases, of default, you can also feel the audio of the people present at that moment, of a song or anything else sound, thus giving an even greater and more sensorial momentum to the overall experience, helping to capture the true atmosphere of the moment.
In order to send photos with this new function it will be the users themselves, from the gallery, to choose whether to send it “on the move” or in a standard way simply by choosing the option that is right for them. “Once a moving photo sent, a small movement icon will be displayed in the upper left corner of the miniature.
This helps users to identify at a glance that the image contains movement and sound, distinguishing it from the standard static images in the chat and facilitating the reinterpretation of dynamic memories later “.
