WhatsApp added a voice note function several years back in 2013. Since the time of its introduction, the feature has not gone through many changes. However, that is about to change, since WhatsApp has announced new additions for voice notes.
WhatsApp posted a blog post, in which, the company talked about many features aimed to improve the voice messaging experience on the platform. The company is working on these features for months. The feature first made its way to users’ devices in beta version on mobile and desktop. Now, the company is finally pushing the stable version to all the users.
The most interesting addition is the ability to play voice notes in the background. Earlier, if you wanted to listen to a voice note; you cannot leave a chat otherwise the playback will stop. However, it is possible to move to other chats or even close the app while hearing a voice note.
