WhatsApp is testing many new features in the app’s beta channel. Among the new additions found Voice theme and sticker pack forwarding feature, as well as a redesigned design and functionality that allows you to listen to sounds before they are sent.
Another novelty targeting business accounts that are part of WhatsApp Business is in the beta channel: More practical design. Now, another change has been observed in this method of application: the online status of conversations with business accounts has disappeared, making them “invisible”.
according to WABetaInfoWhatsApp does not show the status and last seen of online business accounts on Android. When starting a conversation with a business account on WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.21.13.17, the user only sees the information “Business Account” instead of “Online” or “Last seen in…”.
Internet status and last seen can still be seen via WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp for iOS, but there is a possibility that this change will be available in the next WhatsApp Beta update for all channels.

In addition to the redesign, which can be seen in action below, according to the WABetaInfo website, it will now be possible to pause and listen to a recording even before sending it; In a way that is very similar to what can already be done in Telegram. Check out the post with the offer below.
According to the website, the functionality is still in the testing phase, as it is only available in the beta version of the app for Android and iOS. There is still no expectation for us to see the sound waves, as well as the possibility of pausing the recording, in the latest version of the application, but it is estimated that it will be soon.
