What\u2019s more, you can test out its upcoming features using the WhatsApp Beta version. This lets you enjoy all of what they\u2019re planning to improve the app with, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp-beta.en.softonic.com\/articles\/whatsapp-beta-new-emoji-feature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new emoji feature<\/a> and the ability for <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.en.softonic.com\/articles\/whatsapp-create-communities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admins to create Communities<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voice messaging is an old but basic feature of WhatsApp that allows you to <strong>send voice recordings<\/strong> or clips directly to a chat. This helps save time when you have much to say, as typing can be pretty slow for some people\u2014thus, it also came to be called \u201cvoice notes,\u201d thanks to its usefulness. However, voice notes can be <strong>pretty long<\/strong> and you won\u2019t always have the time to listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the new global voice note player, though, that won\u2019t be a problem anymore. The feature will allow voice messages to play even as you exit their chat thread. You can then <strong>switch to other chats<\/strong> and read and reply to them while listening to the recording in the background. It comes with a <strong>media player<\/strong> displayed on your screen, showing a progress bar and some controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case you don\u2019t have access to it just yet, then make sure to update your WhatsApp Beta client to the latest version. This is pretty useful for those who love to <strong>multi-task<\/strong>. Even if you don\u2019t get voice notes often, being able to switch between conversations without the audio pausing is still a great feature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhatsApp will soon be rolling out a global voice note player that lets you listen to your WhatsApp voice messages while chatting in other conversations.
