Voice messages are available at WhatsApp very popular. For those who prefer to speak rather than type, there is now also the practical option of sharing them in the WhatsApp status. However, the associated function is not immediately apparent.
WhatsApp: Even more options in status
It was already clear in January 2023 that WhatsApp would add voice messages to the status. However, how it all works and what you have to do will only become clear months later. This also means that you have to proceed differently than with a normal recording.
In contrast to previous voice messages, the one for your status is not only to 30 seconds limited. You also have to press the corresponding button for a long time to record. Otherwise, not much is needed to use the feature. Just follow the few steps as listed:
How to use voice messages in status
- Open the app and go to the status tab.
- Tap the pen icon.
- Press and hold the record button and start recording your voice.
WhatsApp can still do this
It’s a regular occurrence that the messenger gets new features. In January alone, there were several announcements. For example, haptic feedback was introduced for WhatsApp chats. In addition, users were given an improvement to the chat’s internal search function. But existing features can also be of great interest.
