However, until now, there has been no more detailed information regarding when this feature will be available for iOS device users.

“For your eyes, not your ears. You can mute your video before adding it to Status or sending it in chat. Now it's available on Android”, WhatsApp said in a post on Twitter, Wednesday, February 3, 2021.

For Android users, this video mute feature can be found in video-editing. The volume symbol will be displayed at the bottom.

As for how to use this brand-new feature, it's quite easy. However, before using this video mute feature, it's a good idea for users to first update the WhatsApp application through the Google Play Store.

If the application has been updated, the user can enter WhatsApp. Then, try sending the video to someone or to status. Then you will see a volume symbol at the bottom of the video bar as quoted from BGR.

The user only needs to press the volume symbol to mute the sound before sending it to another user or to a status. Previously, a similar feature was present on Instagram which allowed users to mute the sound of a video before uploading it to a personal story or post.
