Good to know about WhatsApp videos
- “Forwarded many times” means the video passed through a long chain of chats. It says nothing about whether it's real.
- WhatsApp compresses videos heavily. Every clip behind our accuracy numbers was also tested as a WhatsApp-quality copy.
- Free scans take videos up to 25 MB and 3 minutes, which covers most forwards.
