WhatsApp Lets You Pause, Resume Voice Recordings

After introducing some changes for the user interface, WhatsApp is now rolling out another useful feature for the web/desktop client: the ability to pause and resume voice recordings!

A new feature of WhatsApp will soon be out for you. According to the official statements, WhatsApp is currently working on a new feature.

It will allow users to resume and pause their voice recordings on the desktop version of the application. Recently, another feature of instant messaging service was rolled out which allows users to review voice notes before sending them.

Now, the latest beta version of WhatsApp Desktop is currently testing the ability to pause and resume the recordings while playing in chat. Currently, this feature is available for WhatsApp iOS. The Android version is yet to make its way for the same.

On the latest beta version of WhatsApp Desktop, a new pause button was spotted by WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo. The pause and play function of Whatsapp will allow users to pause and resume playback of their recorded voice while they review their recording.

After this, users can either discard the recording or could continue it. The older stop button is replaced by the Pause button. This means a user has to listen the entire recording from the beginning on WhatsApp.

As per the recent statements from WABetaInfo, this new feature is currently being tested on WhatsApp Desktop beta 2.2201.2. It is based on user reports of the feature rolling out on the latest beta version. However, the tracker feature notes may take a while till it enables beta testers’ accounts but the pause button appears to be functional.

However, WhatsApp has introduced an in-app support feature recently. It was briefly tested last year.

Besides this, WhatsApp is also testing new animations for heart emojis. It is done to match the red heart animated emoji on the latest WhatsApp beta version 22.2.72 for iOS users.
