The new WhatsApp modality and one of the last updates that it had was to be able to verify who has seen the WhatsApp status and post statuses for 24 hours. Of course, like any other application, these functions have their limitations, for example that the videos to see them in a state cannot be very long.

What is the duration limit of a video in a WhatsApp status?
Until now, the only duration option that the WhatsApp platform allows to share videos in the states is only 30 seconds . And for now, there is no way with other applications that allow or do the job of sending the entire video in a single status.
Why can’t I post a video longer than 30 seconds?
WhatsApp Messenger is an application that from the beginning proved to be an instant messaging application for anyone in the world, and it always had updates in its versions. But, we cannot ask and say that they put more complete functions when, at the moment, it cannot be achieved.
When we try to send a video that lasts a minute and a half, for example, the WhatsApp application will tell you that it is very long or that it takes up a lot of space. Of course, the same application gives you a quick option that you can follow without leaving the platform and we want to explain this to you later.
How to share a long video and make it complete in my status?
As we mentioned before, if you want to share a long video in your WhatsApp status, you have to follow certain steps depending on your tastes and need to share the video.
Split the video manually
In the first place or the first option that we have is the quick option that WhatsApp itself gives us, to divide the video manually , choosing in which second we want to cut. To do that, log in to your WhatsApp account and go to the camera icon or slide the screen to the right to find the video in the gallery.
Once you have it already selected and it appears on the screen among the last options that WhatsApp gives you to upload it, you will see a bar at the top. This bar covers the estimated time that the application gives you to upload the video, if you like you can cut it there and repeat the steps to upload the missing part later.
Create a GIF
To create a GIF with the same WhatsApp camera, what you must do is repeat the first steps that we left you previously, of looking for the camera icon. When you already have the camera active, press the circle to record a video and when you complete it you must cut it that lasts less than 6 seconds to make it a GIF.
On the other hand, if you already have a video saved in your gallery, you can also convert it to GIF , and for that, cut the video to be 6 seconds or less. Now, and if none of these options pleases you, there is another way that can help you and quickly.
That last option is by downloading an app like WhatsCut Pro+ or SplitVideo that helps you cut and upload videos directly to WhatsApp status. For example, if you use WhatsCut Pro+ you will have the help to easily cut or divide long videos that you want to upload to the status. In this way you can use the gifs in WhatsApp correctly.
To use it, the process is simple, the same application enters the gallery to search for the video, then you can cut it both in equal times or in a single part. If you have selected the option to be in 30 seconds for example each part , the same application will enter WhatsApp so you can send the videos to your contacts.
Those three options are the only ones you have to be able to upload long videos to your status and so far WhatsApp has not reported an update with this improvement.
