WhatsApp prepares a more comfortable recording function for voice messages. The first users can test the function in the beta program on iPhones.
With the new recording function for voice messages, it will be sufficient to type on the microphone symbol in the future to start recording. The Blog Wabtainfo has discovered the change in the beta of the iPhone app.
WhatsApp combines previous methods of voice messages
So far, WhatsApp users have to hold the microphone symbol pressed for the recording of a voice message. The message will be sent when the button is released. Alternatively, the button can be wiped up to activate a lock. Once the lock is activated, longer language notices can also be recorded without permanently keeping your finger on the microphone button.
In the new beta version, WhatsApp seems to link the two options. Pressure on the button automatically triggers the lock, which so far can only be reached by the wiping gesture. In addition, after tapping the micro symbol, the duration of the voice message, an audio wave and controls for deleting, pausing and sending the message appear. In addition, before each sending, users can determine whether a message may only be heard by the recipient once.
Beta function currently only for a few users
The redesign of the language recording function should make news exchange more fluid and simplify the operation. However, the redesign could possibly lead to accidental activation of the voice recording, since now that the microphone symbol’s microphone symbol is tapping is now sufficient.
According to Wabtainfo, the beta is currently only available to a few testers who have installed the app via Test Flight. The function is to be made available to other users of the beta in the course of the coming weeks.
In return, META could gradually provide the integrated transcription function in other languages for users who are not fans of voice messages.
