They work almost identically to voice messages, by design.

        You can already take videos...click the camera icon and select video...how exactly is this better?

Heck how about eliminate the regular text box since you can just type your messages first in the Notes app... See how that logic breaks? It's all about the ability to do it right on the app so it can be sent right away. It's the better user experience.

                          You can just pre-record yourself in a video, then send it

                            They should limit audio messages to 60 seconds too. Everyone hates those 5 minute audios

                              Real question is will Meta's server be able to handle this many surge of media being posted every 1.6 seconds.

                                    I have reached the conclusion that we need to get off of all social media. Not only they stole our personal data but also our time. Not later than yesterday, i found an interesting video of 2mins on my FB feed. Clicked on it and watched it, then i scrolled and find another interesting one, then scrolled again and again. What was a 2 mins videos turned to be 1h20mins videos. We are trapped in this vicious circle of social media. We need to get free from this. We need to fight for our freedom.
