WhatsApp is developing a new function based on a global voice memo player, which allows uninterrupted listening without the need to stay in the contact’s chat who sent it.
As indicated by WABetaInfo, it is a tool already available for some users in the beta version for iOS devices (v22.1.72) and that gives the option to interact with other contacts without the audio note stopping when the user exits the conversation from which they received it.
Thus, thanks to this global player, voice memos can continue to be heard in the background, as if it were a music player.
It should be remembered that, currently, to be able to listen to a voice file, it is necessary to remain in the chat of the contact who sent it, although playback can be accelerated at different speeds: normal (x1), fast (x1.5) and super fast (x2).
At the moment, this option of the beta version has been implemented in some accounts, including WhatsApp Business (v22.1.72), in that operating system. However, the feature is still in development for Android and there is no release date.
