After seeing a great need for improvement, WhatsApp will finally be rolling out new voice messaging features that were in development. These include the previously-reported global voice note player feature for WhatsApp that lets users play voice messages in the background while navigating the app.
WhatsApp’s drive to constantly introduce handy features and improve existing ones is what makes it one of the most popular instant chat apps around. From allowing users to blur images on WhatsApp for Android to expanding WhatsApp’s file size limit when sharing media, there’s definitely much to look forward to in these new voice note features.
The upcoming voice message update will arrive in the coming weeks, after rigorous beta testing. There are primarily six features to expect. The first is the global voice note player or the “Out of Chat Playback” feature, which is great for multitasking. There is also the Pause/Resume Recording feature, which allows you to pause during recording and create a uniform and uninterrupted voice note.
The third new function is the Waveform Visualization, which displays a visual representation of the voice message so you know where you are. This feature will also be added to voice calls soon. Next is the Draft Preview, which lets you review your recording before sending it. There’s also the Remember Playback feature, which will let you pick up where you left off after pausing the voice message.
Lastly, there’s the Fast Playback on Forwarded Messages, which adds speed controls for the recordings and offers 1.5x and 2x speeds to choose from. This update will soon be available for WhatsApp for Android, WhatsApp for iOS, WhatsApp Desktop, and WhatsApp Web so be sure to check if you have the latest version.
