WhatsApp is finally giving the option to let users increase the playback speed in voice messages. As first spotted by WABetaInfo, the feature is live on the latest WhatsApp beta build bearing version number 2.21.9.4 for some users on Android.
The feature was first spotted under development in WhatsApp beta 2.21.6.11 last month. WhatsApp is now gradually testing the feature with its beta testers. Once available, you’ll see the playback speed instead of the profile avatar in the voice message bubble. In the previous test, WhatsApp was testing the possibility of placing the playback speed control over the profile picture preview.
