WhatsApp Voice Status Updates: Meta-owned platform is releasing a new feature for Android beta users

WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is said to be testing a new 'voice status updates' function. This feature, which is now being rolled out in Android beta, will allow users to record and share audio comments via status. According to sources, the new capability is available through the text status section.


This function is available to beta testers, who can exchange voice notes as status updates.


Users will have more control over their voice recordings since the functionality allows users to delete a recording before sharing it.

It should be mentioned that users can now record a voice note of up to 30 seconds. To listen to voice notes given via status, users must update their WhatsApp version.

The messaging app has verified that voice notes sent in status updates would be encrypted from beginning to end. This ensures that only the person users specify in their privacy settings may listen in on them.

Voice notes, like photographs and videos submitted on status, will be deleted after 24 hours.

Users will also have the ability, like with other statuses, to erase voice notes for everyone after publishing them. According to reports, the new update will be made available to more customers in the following weeks.

WhatsApp users who install the newest beta from the Google Play Store will get access to the functionality. It will be made available to even more users in the following weeks.

WhatsApp has announced the availability of its forward media with caption functionality for Android users. This feature will assist users in adding captions to media files and will also come in useful for rapidly locating old files by searching the keywords from the caption.
