WhatsApp has officially announced which new functions the popular but also hated voice messages (7 billion are sent every day) will get or have already got. It’s quite possible that you already know one or the other function, maybe you were randomly selected for a test or are actively using a beta version of the popular messenger, or you’ve read about new functions from us.

⏸️ Pause while recording – take your time when you think in Hindi but speak in English
💬 Listen while responding to other chats because when Mom needs an answer, you answer!

- Play Outside Chat: This allows you to listen to voice messages outside of chat while reading or replying to other messages.
- Pause/resume recording: With this, you can now pause and resume recording voice messages as needed, e.g. B. if you are disturbed or want to organize your thoughts.
- Waveform visualization: This shows the sound of the voice message in a visual form, making it easier for you to follow the progress of the recording.
- Recording control before sending: allows you to listen to your voice messages before sending them.
- Play from the last position: This allows you to continue playing a partially heard voice message from where you left off when you return to that chat.
- Fast playback on forwarded messages: This allows you to playback your own and forwarded voice messages at 1.5x or 2x speed for faster listening.
