When it comes to posting statuses on WhatsApp, you have two options: a normal status, based on a photo that you can paint over, or a status made up of large text with colored backgrounds.
The latest beta version of the application tells us that a third type of status is on the way: the audio status.
The latest Beta of WhatsApp for Android, with version number 2.22.16.3, reveals that the messaging platform is working on this function that will allow you to publish voice notes in your status updates, as explained by the padizate web portal.

Starred audio messages could be left for certain users to listen to, instead of being sent to all of them.
At the moment it is only available in the Android beta, it has not even reached the iOS beta, so there is still time for us to see it in action.
How to enable WhatsApp audio statuses
The Depor portal publishes that the “audio states” have already reached the Beta, but because it is a tool under development they have not yet enabled it.
There are also no details of how its real operation will be, it can only be seen that they have introduced a microphone icon on the right side of the “States” tab.
The voice notes will only be shared with the people you choose within the privacy settings, and the audio will be end-to-end encrypted.

They recommend installing the WhatsApp Beta on your Android device because the option is likely to be released in the next few days or maybe weeks, so you can be one of the first people to try it before the tool is officially released for everyone.
How to install the WhatsApp Beta
- First, you have to enter the Google Play Store and search for WhatsApp.
- Enter the first app that appears and scroll down until you find the option “Become a beta tester”, press it. If you don’t see it then tap on this link.
- Accept the terms and conditions and wait a bit for the WhatsApp beta to start installing.
- In case you already have it, you just have to update it
- That would be all, don’t worry the Beta is a safe place.
- Finally, click on the status tab and on the right side you will see the new microphone icon.
According to the Xatakamoll website, it remains to be seen how these audio states will be seen, if some type of player will be included, if it will have some type of special display or if they will be played just like any other video. For this we will have to wait, because we still do not know when the novelty will be available to everyone, or if it will be.
