WhatsApp: Unexpected Update is giving Voice Status a Good Makeover

According to recent data, WhatsApp may allow you to post audio notes as status updates. This entails that you can send quick voice memos to all of your contacts at once. It was discovered by WABetaInfo, an app sleuth that searches WhatsApp’s “beta” version for new features.

Following an unexpected app update, WhatsApp voice notes are getting a BIG makeover

The Android beta app contained an “under development” version of this new trick. The voice note’s background color can be selected when you want to send a speech status update, and it appears as a message bubble, according to WABetaInfo. Additionally, a voice note that is end-to-end encrypted is automatically played each time a voice status update is opened.

Additionally, voice notes of up to 30 seconds can be uploaded. Unfortunately, a precise release date for this feature cannot be predicted. It can take days, weeks, or even months to appear on WhatsApp’s default version because it’s still in development. Consider using the guide below to sign up for the beta if you want to try out new features first, or scroll down for another WhatsApp voice trick.

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR WHATSAPP’S BETA 

You must search for WhatsApp on Google Play on your Android device to get the beta version of WhatsApp for your smartphone.

Until you find “Become a Beta Tester,” scroll down the page.

To confirm, tap the “I’m In” button and then click “Join.”

The only thing left to do is wait for the app’s beta version to be updated.

The iPhone WhatsApp beta has a smaller capacity and is more challenging to join.

EASY VOICE NOTE TRICK

WhatsApp recently added the capability to pause voice note recording. It was introduced on the app earlier this year, and it’s doing well. First, ensure sure WhatsApp is updated to the most recent version. On an iPhone or an Android device, you can accomplish this through the Google Play Store  Then, to make sure you’re using the most recent version quit and reopen WhatsApp.

Now start a chat, whether it be a one-on-one or group conversation.

To lock it in “hands-free” mode, tap and hold the voice record feature, then draw upwards.

The pause icon should now be visible in the bottom center of the screen.

To pause the recording, hit this.

Even with the recording paused, it is easy to quit the discussion and the app.

After that, you can pick it up again and finish.

This is useful if you need to find out more information or get interrupted when recording a lengthy message.

Or perhaps you simply forgot what you were going to say and need some time to think it over.

Whatever the situation, pausing and returning to it is simple and the recipient won’t notice.

When a recording is paused, the app doesn’t notify the chat.

Additionally, WhatsApp has made changes to allow you to continue listening to voice notes even while you are not in a discussion. Thus, you can switch to another chat after starting to play an audio message without it pausing.
