Whatsapp advances its voice chat options
WhatsApp announced on Tuesday the availability of a feature that allows users to test voice messages ahead sharing them to recipients. The upgrade effectively allows you to listen to your voice message and choose whether or not the audio is suitable for transmission via the instant messaging app. If it isn't, you may delete your voice message and re-record it for sharing. WhatsApp's audio message preview function works with both solo and group conversations. It is also available for all platforms, including Android and iOS, as well as Web and PCs.
points to be highlighted
Earlier this year, WhatsApp was seen working on the functionality.
Users can preview the recording directly from the conversation.
WhatsApp just increased the speed at which voice communications may be played back.
what's the advancements
To utilise the audio message preview function on your mobile device, open a WhatsApp chat and slide the microphone button up to lock hands-free recording. This will bring up an interface with a stop button and a trash bin. You may listen to your voice message before sharing it with the receiver by tapping the stop button and then the play button. By pressing on the seek bar, you may easily navigate to a specific area of the audio.
If you don't want to send the message, you may remove it by clicking the trash bin. You can also send it by using the post key.
If you prefer sending audio messages over text messages on WhatsApp, the preview option will come in handy. It enables you to examine your draught voice messages before delivering them to your friends. However, if you only tap the mic icon on the application and do not slide it up to lock the recording feature, you may still send random voice messages.
WhatsApp told that the preview option has been made available to all users. We could also utilise it on the most recent version of the software on a variety of Android and iOS devices, as well as on the Web.
WhatsApp was found creating a preview function for audio communications in May. According to WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo, it was first observed with distinct Review and Cancel buttons. The Meta-owned corporation, on the other hand, has decided to use the usual play and trash can buttons over any text references.
It's worth noting that, while the current version allows users to preview voice messages before sending them to recipients, it doesn't enable users to pause voice message recordings. This means you won't be able to halt and continue audio recording of your message.
Nonetheless, WhatsApp appears to be working on a similar feature. In October, WABetaInfo discovered the pause voice message option. However, it is not yet available to end consumers.
WhatsApp has been working hard in recent months to improve the voice message interface on its platform. Voice message playback speed and waveforms were just added to the app. It was also seen testing capabilities such as a worldwide voice message player and voice message translation.
