WhatsApp introduced Instant Video Notes in 2023, enabling s to record and send 60-second video messages to others directly in chat. The instant messaging platform is now enhancing that feature by enabling quick replies for it, according to a report. The new option is said to be spotted in a beta version of WhatsApp for Android. This development comes just days after it was revealed that it was also working on a new in-app dialler for the Calls tab.

At present, s need to manually open the message menu to reply to a specific video message.

Instead of having to go through menus, s can simply tap on the icon and reply to the sender without breaking the flow of the conversation.

The feature tracker claims that the new quick replies for Instant Video Notes option is available to some beta testers who are on the latest version of WhatsApp for Android beta via the Google Play Beta program.

WhatsApp is also reported to be developing another feature that aims to improve the calling experience – a new in-app dialler. It is said to appear as a floating action button (FAB) in the Calls tab. With this feature, s can even make calls to numbers which aren't saved on the smartphone.

Furthermore, it is also speculated to enable s to save s from the dialler to the smartphone's address book, either as a new or an addition to an existing one. It may also offer the ability to check whether a given number is ed on WhatsApp.
