WhatsApp will not allow users to post videos longer than 15 seconds as a status

The 15-second status video length limitation has reportedly been implemented to reduce the traffic on server infrastructure. However, we are yet to hear an official announcement or receive a press release from WhatsApp regarding the change. We've reached out however, and will update this space if we hear back. Also, a lot of users are apparently not too happy with the 15-second limit imposed on sharing videos via their status. It must be noted that WhatsApp status remains visible for your contacts (and on the WhatsApp server) only for a span of 24 hours before it automatically gets deleted, so it is quite interesting to see how big a relief this move brings when it comes to reducing the load on server infrastructure.
