INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Following the recent release of biometric locking for chats, WhatsApp for iOS is now receiving a new feature that lets users play Netflix
trailer videos directly from within the app
The feature makes use of Picture-in-Picture mode that enables users to watch third-party video content straight from the instant
messenger.According to WABetaInfo, the Netflix picture-in-picture mode is only available on the iOS platform at the moment
Still, we expect it to make it Android pretty soon, as with all the previous feature rollouts.(Image credit: WABetaInfo)Make sure you have
the latest WhatsApp version else check Apple App Store for the same
The picture-in-picture mode for Netflix doesn't work on Android as of writing this post; however, it could be rolled out in the next few
weeks.Share a link from Netflix to WhatsApp, and it will display as a thumbnail with a play button
It means that the instant messenger now supports playing trailers from the steaming service as it does with YouTube, Instagram, and
Facebook.Do note, however, that Netflix won't start playing a title as picture-in-picture on WhatsApp
This new feature only adds the ability for users to share their favorite titles with their friends and family, and the recipient gets to
watch the trailer of the said title in-the-app
They can then go ahead and decide whether they want to watch the title or not based on its trailer.It's a neat addition to WhatsApp, given
its popularity across the globe and only makes sharing and viewing of Netflix trailers quickly
WhatsApp is likely to support more external links
However, the messaging service hasn't revealed a plan for the same yet.vXdPGXi74KTVY9qamo4xnb.jpg?#
