WhatsApp seems to be adding a number of new features in 2022, and this time, it is beta testing the long-rumored global voice note player with iOS users. What’s the purpose, you ask? It will let you play voice notes from one chat while scrolling through another chat. Here are all the details you should know.
In a recent post, WABetaInfo notes that the messaging platform has started rolling out the new global voice note player for iOS beta version 22.1.72 on both the standard and Business apps. There’s no word on when the feature will be available for Android users.
Yet again, we don’t know when WhatsApp plans to release this nifty feature for the general audience. For those who don’t know, WhatsApp recently introduced a feature, which allows you to preview a voice message before sending it so as to avoid any errors.
The Meta-owned messaging platform is also seen testing a number of other new features lately. The ability to show a person’s profile photo in notifications, a revamped chat list UI and contact info page, the ability to search for nearby businesses, a new Communities section, and more – all are expected to release soon.
