WhatsApp has announced a new feature for voice messages that enables users to hear voice messages before sending it.
The company said, “Now you can preview your voice message on WhatsApp before you send it, perfect for those moments when you want to get your message just right. They bring you closer to friends and family than a text message and unlike a call, give you the freedom to message - and for them to listen - when it’s most convenient.”
How to preview voice messages
1. Open an individual or group chat.
2. Touch the microphone and slide it up to lock hands-free recording.
3. Start speaking.
4. Once finished, tap stop.
5. Tap play to listen to your recording. You can also tap any part of the recording to play it from that timestamp.
6. Tap the trash can to delete the voice message, or tap send to send it.
How to speed up voice message playback
1. Click Play to listen to voice messages you’ve sent or received.
2. Listen to the message.
3. While a message is playing, you can click the 1x icon to increase the speed to 1.5x or 2x.
