First off, the interface as you’re recording a message looks to be getting far more detailed. You’ll soon be able to see a waveform representing your recording as you go, rather than just a timer and a blinking microphone icon. The record button will be gaining a pause feature too. This will let you stop recording if you lose your train of thought or there’s a loud noise nearby, and then start again once you’re ready, all without sending the message before you tap the button. Messages will no longer automatically send once you release the record button either. You are able to listen back to your message or just delete it and start again before sending. When it comes to listening to voice messages, WhatsApp will now let you play a message and then bounce to another chat without stopping playback. You can also speed up the playback to 1.5x or 2x the original speed if you want to get through your messages faster. Even better, WhatsApp will remember your progress through messages you listen to, letting you easily pick up from where you left off rather than starting from the beginning again. The rollout plan for this update is unfortunately vague, but hopefully it won’t be too long until you can try out these fleshed-out voice message features yourself.
