WhatsApp just changed the way voice notes work forever in HUGE update

WHATSAPP has changed the way voice notes work in a major update rolling out today.
The changelog has been in beta for a while, but is finally ready for general release.
It means you can now listen to voice messages when you are in another conversation.
So, if you start listening to a voice note in a conversation, you can move on to another note without canceling playback.
This is especially useful if you are listening to a long voice note but you still want to talk to someone else in WhatsApp.
This feature was tested in WhatsApp beta about a month ago.
But in the latest WhatsApp update – version 22.4.75 – it is now available to all users.
To see it, make sure you have WhatsApp updated in the Apple App Store on iPhone or Google Play Store on Android.
WhatsApp has also announced some other smart functions.
These include the ability to pause and resume recording voice notes.
And you can even listen to the message again before sending it.
They are not the only changes coming to WhatsApp.
The app is also in testing Facebook Style Cover Feature for profile.
And whatsapp also try reacting to Facebook-style messages for chats.
Responses include “like”, “like the heart”, “cry with laughter”, “shock”, “tears” and “pray” or “high five”.
These features are currently only available in WhatsApp beta.
If you want to test out new WhatsApp features, you should consider joining the beta.
