Quick Answer

So, if you want to post a 1-minute video, your status will consist of 4 clips; the first three will contain 30 seconds each of the video in continuation, and the last will have 10 remaining seconds of the video.

If you want to try it, then it goes like this:

  1. Launch your WhatsApp app on iOS or Android device. Whatsapp App On Mobile
  2. Open the “Status” section and tap the little plus icon next to “My status.” Plus + Icon Under My Status Whatsapp
