WhatsApp has a new voice recording function through an update. But are you really going to use it?
WhatsApp regularly comes with updates that benefit the functionalities. It makes the messages app just a little nicer to use. But sometimes there are also updates that bring features that you hardly use. This might be one of those.
WhatsApp voice recording
At least, if you hardly use voice recordings, then this update is not for you. With this new update it has become possible to listen to voice recordings while you go to another chat. The audio continues to play in the background. In the past this was not possible. Then you had to stay in the chat to listen to the recording. When you left the chat, the audio stopped. It is not clear why it took years before WhatsApp also realized that voice recording in this way was super annoying.
Most people will use WhatsApp just to chat with another person. In any case, this group hardly notices this function. Still, it’s nice that WhatsApp has finally baked in this function as a result of the update. Because the undersigned makes regular use of voice recordings. And that works a lot better with this update. Nice!
