WhatsApp for iPhone recently received a pretty big update, allowing users to finally share their slow motion videos captured by their iPhone 5s, the ability to add captions to photo (Facebook Messenger just received a similar ability yesterday), and more.
The iPhone 5s comes with a pretty neat camera trick that allows you to take not only slow-mo videos, but it also allows you to easily and quickly select parts to be slowed down, giving a rather professional look to a single video with both normal and slow speeds. Unfortunately, you can’t really share those clips with friends – upload to Facebook or share it via WhatsApp and the entire clip would be in normal speed. With this update, iPhone 5s users can now easily share their creative clips, and even edit them right within WhatsApp itself.
The update also gives iOS users an Android-like feature – a camera button right on the app itself so you can quickly capture something to send. Other notable features include the ability to add captions to pictures and videos, improvements and changes to location sharing, and more.
