WhatsApp is one of the most convenient and commonly-used messaging app for people around the globe. Its end-to-end encryption and comprehensive features are very useful and intuitive.

The new updated feature allows people to preview voice messages, speed up voice message playback, and for iOS users, it allows them to listen to the voice message even after exiting the chat. “They bring you closer to friends and family than a text message and unlike a call, give you the freedom to message – and for them to listen – when it’s most convenient,” the company said about the new voice note interface.
The feature is for iOS users as of now, and Android users are still not able to play the voice not after leaving the chat they received the message from.
