WhatsApp comes with an update for the voice message function. This update allows you to preview a voice message before pressing send.
Check Voice Messages in WhatsApp
WhatsApp announces the new feature on Twitter and also indicates the reason for the new feature in the tweet. It can be very frustrating to have to delete and re-record a speech clip every time because you messed up something. The new option allows you to pre-listen to your recording to make sure there are no errors. Then you can still tap send. Or delete the message and record it again.
