The feature is starting to become available on WhatsApp’s Android mobile app. If you’ve updated your app, you now will be able to watch videos while they stream, instead of downloading them.
There is news as to when users on other platforms will be able to get the new feature, but judging from WhatsApp‘s current speed of releasing new features and testing others, it is expected within the next few days.
