Whatsapp is currently working on a new function.
This is intended to significantly improve the recording and playback of voice messages.
Kassel - Whatsapp * is currently working on several new functions that should bring improvements for users.
According to reports, the innovations were seen in an early beta version and should affect the function of voice messages.
In the past few months, the app was increasingly talked about through negative headlines.
Recently Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram were hit by a catastrophic failure.
The services, which all belong to the Facebook group, were not available for several hours.
In addition, the change in Whatsapp's terms of use caused massive criticism of the company.
Many users then switched to alternative messenger apps such as Signal, Threema and Telegram.

Extend WhatsApp functions: pause recording of voice messages?
With the new function, Whatsapp now apparently wants to improve the recording and playback of voice messages.
According to the WABetaInfo portal, users should in future be able to pause the recording of voice messages and continue at a later point in time.
Previously, interrupted voice messages had to be completely re-recorded.
The WhatsApp innovation is currently still in development, but should be available for Android and iOS in the future, reports t-online.de.
When exactly the innovation will be published has not yet been determined.
First of all, new functions will generally be rolled out for users of the beta version of the app and only afterwards for other users.

Whatsapp: New function to improve the playback of voice messages
Another innovation should concern the playback of voice messages.
According to WABetaInfo, Whatsapp is working on a player that will allow voice messages to be listened to in the entire app and not just in the chat window.
The function would allow Whatsapp users to listen to a voice message and reply to other messages at the same time.
So far, this has not been possible, as soon as a chat window is closed, the playback of the voice message is also interrupted.
