Instant messaging platform WhatsApp is developing a new feature that will allow its iOS users to share voice notes in status updates.
Until now, WhatsApp was already working on this feature for the Android system, where it was seen in the beta version update 2.22.21.5, but now it is rolling out for the iOS beta version as well.
This new feature will allow a voice note to be shared for up to 30 seconds in user status updates, through the composer which allows for text uploading.
As it appears in chats, on the right side of the text bar there will be a microphone button through which it will be possible to record the voice note and share it.
These voice note status updates will only be shared with the people you choose within your privacy settings, just like everything else, videos, photos, or text. And they will be end-to-end encrypted.
WhatsApp statuses are a posting format that allows you to share text, photos, videos, GIFs and, soon, voice notes, which disappear 24 hours after they are uploaded to the platform. They also have their own space, with a tab located in the center of the main interface.
However, this new feature is under development, so it is expected that it will be released to beta users in the future to test it and find out how it will present specifically.
