WhatsApp%20to%20allow%20users%20to%20mute%20videos%20before%20sharing%2C%20Read%20Later%20feature%20appears%20in%20testing

New feature named mute videos will let the users mute videos prior to sending them to any contact or adding it to status updates.
This could be beneficial as sometimes you record a video and doesn’t want the receiver to listen to background sound
“Read Later" is another feature tells that any archived chat will always remain in your archive even if they are not muted.
