After launching the new voice memos player in a beta update for iOS PC, the app is enabling the same feature for beta testers on Android.
Thanks to this feature, the user will be able to play voice notes even if he switches to a different conversation, as detailed on the specialized WABetaInfo website.
With this, you can send a message to a different contact while playing a received voice memo in another chat.
This is how the soon-to-be-released new feature will work in the messaging app
Currently, if a user leaves a conversation while the audio is playing, the message will stop automatically.
The feature is still only available in the beta version. It will be released soon to all users. Discover what’s new:
New entry in the messaging app
Also according to the information, WhatsApp is imposing new restrictions when forwarding messages.
The new limitation was found in a recent beta update for Android and should be rolling out soon to all users.
What does this mean? When you want to resend a forwarded message, you cannot choose more than one group at the same time.
The amendment should be a new measure aimed at fighting fake news on the popular messaging platform.
