If you are a lazy texter and you prefer sending voice notes instead, WhatsApp has announced new features it will be introducing soon to the messaging application.
The new update will help users make the most of their audio interaction.
Pause/Resume Recording: When recording a voice message, you can now pause the recording and resume when ready, in case you’re interrupted or need to gather your thoughts.
Out of Chat Playback: Listen to a voice message outside of the chat so you can multitask or read and respond to other messages.
Waveform Visualization: Shows a visual representation of the sound on the voice message to help follow the recording.
Draft Preview: Listen to your voice messages before sending them.
Remember Playback: If you pause when listening to a voice message, you can pick up where you left off when you return to the chat.
Fast Playback on Forwarded Messages: Play voice messages at 1.5x or 2x speeds to listen to messages faster on both regular and forwarded messages.
The features will be rolled out in the coming weeks.
So far, more than seven billion voice messages are sent through WhatsApp per day.
