Voice messages are one of the most practical features on WhatsApp and the most popular with WhatsApp users. By using voice messages, you avoid having to write long text paragraphs or spending money on calls. WA is aware of this success, which is why voice messages will soon get key updates.
Now we can send voice messages without having to hold down the Rec button. That’s not all: we can record them in the background, without having WhatsApp open, and while we do other things on our phones. This could be very useful for commenting on something we’re looking at on our phones, or simply for multi-tasking while recording the message.
These background messages can last a staggering 15 minutes. So, get ready to send endless audios to your annoying friend… then you’ll become the annoying one!
As usual, these updates aren’t yet available to the general public. For now, they’re only on the beta version of Android, which WaBetaInfo – official leakers of WhatsApp’s news – has already tried out.
