Waveform Visualization: While you are listening, the new visual waveform representation helps you follow the recording. Remember Playback: Even if you forgot to note where you left listening previously, you need not worry as WhatsApp remembers it for you, and the next time, it picks up from where you left off. Fast Playback on Forwarded Messages: Also, if you are in a hurry or for any reason want to speed up the playback, you can run the voice messages at 1.5x or 2x speeds. This is available on both regular or forwarded voice notes.

All these new WhatsApp Voice Message Features would be released to the users in the coming users.

Commenting on its new announcement, the company said, “Voice messages have made it quick and easy for people to have more expressive conversations. Showing emotion or excitement through voice is more natural than text, and in many situations, voice messages are the preferred form of communication on WhatsApp. It’s simple for anyone to use - for your family members who prefer to avoid typing, for your friends who love to tell stories, for your peers who need encouraging words, or for when you want to hear your partner's voice at the end of a long day.”

WhatsApp also boasts every day its users sent 7 billion voice messages on the messaging platform.
