The new feature allows users to get a preview of the videos sent to them by others in push notifications, meaning that it can be viewed even from the lock screens of smartphones.
Apparently. As mentioned: My wife can use the new function, a friend’s wife cannot. Both use the App Store version, have never used a beta. In the video: My wife’s iPhone, I hope you mean this feature (Watch the video in the notification) pic.twitter.com/mLukaM47pn
