WhatsApp, has been bringing constant innovations for voice messages in recent times. At the end of 2021, a quick play button with gradual speeds for voice messages came to the messaging application. After a while, it made it usable for non-instantaneous audio files as well.
Now, a feature that will help us listen to our friends who talk for a long time without getting bored and that many of us have wanted to come for a long time is being tested in the beta version. Here are the features and details that are eagerly awaited for WhatsApp voice messages…
Founder of WhatsApp took over Signal!
Signal CEO Moxie Marlinspike resigns. He was temporarily replaced by Brian Acton, co-founder of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp voice messages can play in the background
A beta version is being tested in which voice messages sent from WhatsApp can play in the background of the application. According to the reports, when this feature was first discussed, it was April 2021 when the acceleration of voice messages was also discussed. In September of the same year, the application allowed the preview of messages before sending them.
XDA Developers WhatsApp beta version information, according to a report by WABetaInfo, the latest Android beta version 2.22.3.1announced that it will now allow a user to listen to voice messages in the background. Users will see the voicemail player just above the app and the Chats Status and Calls bar below it.
This voicemail player has a progress bar as well as tools to resume, pause and close. It is said that the player continues to work when exiting the application and entering another application. However, there is no official confirmation of this change.
According to WABetaInfo, the feature in question is still under development, so there is a possibility that the feature may not be available even for some beta users. In addition, there is no explanation about the feature on WhatsApp’s official site yet. No launch date has been set on the beta channel, either.
