This brand new feature on WhatsApp will make watching long videos super easy

Published

WhatsApp remains the most popular means of communication nowadays, when it comes to casual chatting as the company continues to bring innovations to the app, keeping the user feedback and preferences in view.

One of the few recently introduced features to the app is the “skip forward and backward” option, WABetaInfo reported. This tool will make watching lengthy videos shared on WhatsApp super easy.

“Specifically, users have long been requesting new tools to have better control over playing videos, and it appears that their feedback has played a pivotal role in the development of a new feature,” the WhatsApp news tracker said.

It said that the feature has been rolled out with the version update 2.23.24.6 for Android, which is available to some beta testers on the Google Play Store.

With this feature, the users will be able to easily navigate within videos they receive or send, especially the longer ones without the hassle of dragging the play head to the required point in a clip.

As you can see in this screenshot, it is now possible to skip forward and backward videos by double-tapping the left or right side of the screen.

This means you can now skip forward to get to the most crucial part of a video or rewind to rewatch something you might have missed without using the progress bar.

“This feature operates in a manner similar to how it works on YouTube, making it familiar and intuitive for users who are already accustomed to navigating videos on the popular video-sharing platform,” WABetainfo stated.

As per the article, this feature not only saves time but also enhances content navigation as users can easily rewind to revisit a particular moment or fast forward to skip past less relevant parts.

The feature will be rolled out to even more people over the coming weeks.

The goal is to construct the first lunar train system, which will enable safe, independent, and effective cargo transportation on the moon, according to robotics specialist Ethan Schaler of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

He went on, “The day-to-day functioning of a sustainable lunar base in the 2030s will depend heavily on a robust, long-lasting robotic transport system.”

The Flexible Levitation on a Track, or FLOAT, is the name of the proposed lunar rail system. According to NASA, the establishment of a railway system on the moon is “critical to the daily operations.”

According to the space agency, the primary objective of FLOAT is to offer transportation services in regions of the moon where astronauts are engaged in activities. To do this, cargoes of lunar soil and other materials will need to be transported to various regions of the moon.

Each robot will be able to transport cargo of various sizes and shapes at a pace of roughly 1 mph (1.61 km/h), according to Dr. Schaler.

Notably, NASA also declared new initiatives last month to create and test new vehicle models intended for moon exploration.

SIFC was established to improve the ease of doing business for potential investors through a “Whole of Government”Approach”—achieving optimal horizontal-vertical synergy and facilitation by the Pakistan Army—and to attract investments from friendly countries in selected sectors through an empowered organisation that serves as a “single-window” platform for facilitation.

The children will learn the newest skills in these state-of-the-art IT labs, expanding their employment prospects.

These IT laboratories will be constructed in sixteen degree colleges spread throughout various parts of Islamabad.

Students will take six-month courses in artificial intelligence (AI), game development, data science, and block chain in these IT labs.

Approximately 1,000 students will have access to courses in the first phase, which is being implemented in response to market demand.

The National Vocational and Technical Training Commission has worked with esteemed universities such as NUST, National Skills University, COMSATS, and NUML to produce these courses.

The second week of this month will mark the start of these classes. For these courses, about 3,600 students have signed up.
