Apart from this, WhatsApp is also working on a new voice message review tool for Android and iOS. As per the latest report by WABetaInfo the instant messaging platform has enabled the features for the beta testing which allows using different playback speeds to listen to voice messages. It comes for WhatsApp beta Android version 2.21.9.10 and it is not available yet for the public.
The feature for voice messages will allow you to review voice messages so that you will be able to listen to voice messages before sending them. At the moment the users can switch to different section before sending the voice message so as to review voice messages. But in future when this playback speed for voice messages is rolled out to the public a new Review button will be seen in the app so that you can easily tap to listen to the voice message.
As per a report, after tapping the Review button, you can listen to the voice message you were previously recording and you will be able to decide if you want to discard or send it. This feature is under the testing phase and it is expected to be rolled out through future updates for both iOS and Android devices.
