Whatsapp renews voice messages: you can listen to them before sending them

Surely it has ever happened to you: record a voice message on whatsapp, you send it and it turns out that nothing is heard because the microphone was not active or because you were using helmets and you have not spoken close enough or because simply the mobile has failed.

Luckily, whatsapp will implement the function of being able to listen to a voice message before sending it in the next version of the APP. At the moment, it can only be proven in the beta version, but many Android users have already received it and ensure that it works well.

The change in the way we recorded and we send voice messages is greater than one could expect. So far, you had to hold the button on the recorder to send the message, or slide it up to remove your finger from it.

With the new version of whatsapp, pressing on the Record Message button, a space is displayed in which the sound waves of the message we are engaging and three buttons appear below: one to erase the sound, another to listen to it and Finally another to send it to our contact.

The changes are not there. Since there is a line of sound waves, it is possible to listen to a specific part of the audio, and not the entire entire message, when sliding your finger over it.

If you want to use these improvements, you will have to access a beta version of Android or iOS, but since it is already available in the public beta, it should not take much more to reach the telephones of all users.

WhatsApp has included a multitude of news in recent months, from an option to send messages when you have no battery until the possibility of using the same account in a multitude of devices and at a time.

What the application is looking for is not to be left behind with respect to the competition, because between criticism of its operation, to Facebook (which is the owner company) and the future a little cloudy that is emerging, many people have bet on leaping to Telegram or Signal.

In future months, whatsapp is expected to receive updates that allow, among other things, to use it from the iPad, send money in the style of Bizum or even have a backup on the encrypted cloud.
