WhatsApp voice note changes for iPhone users

WhatsApp is testing a number of new features for the iOS and Android versions of its messaging application.

This is according to WABetaInfo, which reported that the beta versions of both applications have been updated to include new functionality.

The WhatsApp beta update for iOS comprises changes to the voice note system, which allows you to send audio clips to your friends by recording your voice from directly within the app.

Can't they just remove voice notes.... Honestly hate it when people send me voice notes. Lazy buggers then I have to listen to their voices for 5 mins.

Couldn't agree more. I will not send one under any circumstances. Quite fun to continuously reply to the suckers voice notes with typed messages. I know it irritates people

A number of my family members make extensive use of WA voice notes - it is a means to have a chat with someone but they can listen to it at a time that suits them. So, no, please do not remove it.

Its a useful function, but when I click on the voice note icon using an iPhone, it often "drops" the recording button and I have to start over again. I dont have this problem with Telegram or Signal, so hopefully they fix it.

Fun to listen to how my colleague gets kakked out by his wife. ****er is half deaf as well, so he plays the clip very loud.

I do exactly the same. Always reply in text.
