In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.21.5 update, we announced a new feature: the ability to share a voice note to your status update. This feature is under development on WhatsApp beta for Android but there is finally news about WhatsApp beta for iOS today:
As you can see in this screenshot, it will be possible to post a voice note up to 30 seconds to your status updates right with text status: as happens with a WhatsApp chat, the microphone icon will show up when you don’t enter any text within this section otherwise, it means you’re going to a text via status update as usual. Note that your voice status updates will only be shared with the people you choose within your privacy settings and they are always end-to-end encrypted.
Since this feature is under development, this feature is still not ready so we are unable to show how a voice status looks on iOS, even if it will be very similar to the one shown in the screenshot posted in the article about Android. In addition, its appearance and the entry point may look different when this feature will be released to beta testers but we’re following the development and we’re going to keep you up to date when we see something different.
The ability to share a voice note to your status update will be available in a future update. As always, there will be a new article on this website when WhatsApp is rolling out this feature to some beta testers.
