WhatsApp brings a new control feature to voice notes that lets you control the message you are listening to from the top of the app. Now, if you are listening to a voice message and navigate away from the particular chat, the voice message continues playing at the top of the WhatsApp screen. You can choose to pause it, fast-forward, rewind or close it entirely.
This changes what used to be attainable when you had to drag the screen down to see the voice note you were listening to. It makes accessing voice messages easier as well.
To Send a voice message on WhatsApp, here is what you need to do:
- Open an individual or group chat.
- Tap and hold the microphone and start speaking.
- Once finished, remove your finger from the microphone. The voice message will automatically send.
- While recording a voice message, you can slide left to cancel it.
