WhatsApp, which has been one of the biggest stakeholders in the world’s communication for years, has been offering voice messages since 2013. While the voicemail features in the application continue to develop, WhatsApp also announced new features that will come to voicemail in the coming period.
In the blog post shared by WhatsApp, it was stated that a total of 6 new features will come to the application. Among these new features, which aimed to improve the voice chat experience, there were some features that users wanted for a long time. The 6 features announced to be coming to WhatsApp in the coming weeks were as follows:
New features to come to WhatsApp:
- Out-of-chat playback: Playback of voice recording on the phone If you exit the chat where it was played, you will now be able to continue listening to the audio recording. In this way, you will be able to listen to incoming audio recordings while doing anything on your phone.
- Pause/resume recording: When you need to collect your thoughts while recording audio, you can now pause the recording process and resume recording whenever you want.
- Waveform visualization: Audio recordings will now be shown in waveform in the chat window to help track the recording.
- Draft preview: You can now listen to your recorded audio before sending it to be sure of what you said before recording. (This feature is currently available for many users)
- Remember to play: When you leave the chat window halfway while listening to the audio recording, and start the audio recording again, you will no longer have to manually pick up where you left off. With this feature, the voicemail will automatically pick up where you left off when you return to the chat.
- Fast playback on forwarded messages: Both regular and forwarded voice messages can now be played 1.5x or 2x faster. (This feature is currently available for most users)
