Furthermore, another option this update would offer is that when leaving the chat, a thumbnail player would open. This way, you can browse the general chat room, as well as the list of active users, while listening to the audio received via chat. You can also record audio hands-free, without having to hold down the record button, along with an equalizer that displays voice waves.
Another new feature is a voice note player that would not be included in the chat normally used by users, allowing you to listen to and control audio when leaving the chat. This ability to listen to audio before sending is one of the platform's latest additions.
For now, without this update, audio clips heard in chat will pause if you navigate to another chat. This will happen until the update is available for all devices. To enjoy the update, users can do so from the iOS version of WhatsApp, but be aware that the feature will be available as it is tested.
