How long a WhatsApp Status video can be

Short answer: WhatsApp's Help Center says a status video can be up to 90 seconds long. If you add a longer video, only the first 90 seconds are shared, so choose the part you want before you post it.

Choose the 90 seconds in WhatsApp

  1. In WhatsApp, tap Updates, then Add status, and pick the video.
  2. Drag the slider at the top to keep the part you want, up to 90 seconds.
  3. Share it. A status disappears after 24 hours.

You don't need another app for this.

Why a status looks softer than the original

WhatsApp's Help Center says photos and videos in a status may look lower in quality than the original, because they are usually compressed, and that HD quality isn't available for status. Clipmino can't change how WhatsApp handles a status, and we have not measured it.

To send the whole video

Send it in a chat instead. WhatsApp's Help Center says a video sent in a chat can be up to 64 MB, or 100 MB on a faster connection. If yours is larger, Clipmino can make a copy that fits: WhatsApp says the video is too large.
