WhatsApp to launch THESE features in 2022

WhatsApp now gives users the choice to listen to and play voice messages at 1.5x or 2x speed. Near the voice message player, a new 1x speed button has appeared. You can alter the playback speed of any voice message by tapping on the new button.

Users of WhatsApp can now listen to their recorded voice messages before sending them. Previously, users could only record and transmit voice messages without first hearing them. The new pause and resume feature for voice message recording will work in tandem with this feature.

WhatsApp users will soon be able to view a visual depiction of the voice message's sound. According to the business, the design would make it easier for customers to follow the recording. WhatsApp has also implemented a similar waveform style for audio calls.

Users of WhatsApp can now listen to a voice note even after leaving the conversation or switching to another app. This function saves time because users can respond to another chat while listening to voice notes. Prior to the feature, users had to remain in a chat to listen to a voice note.

WhatsApp users no longer have to listen to an audio message all at once. They can pause a voice message and pick up where they left off. This function will come in handy when listening to longer voice messages.

WhatsApp users may now pause and resume recording audio messages. When starting to record a voice message in handsfree mode, users will notice a new pause option. Previously, customers had to re-record a voice message in the event of a disruption. This feature will also come in handy while recording extended audio messages.

With a new design, WhatsApp will enable one-tap voice calling for up to 32 individuals. The app window that appears during group voice calls is being redesigned by the firm. During a group call, the platform is adding voice waveforms for all participants. The voice waves resemble those observed in voice notes. The design modifications are minor, but they give the page a more modern appearance.

With subsequent improvements, WhatsApp will be able to offer file transfers of up to 2 terabytes, allowing participants to seamlessly collaborate on a project. Currently, WhatsApp only enables 100MB of file sharing in a single session.

WhatsApp group admins will be able to remove incorrect or problematic messages from everyone's chats in the coming upgrades. Until now, only senders could delete their communications.

The WhatsApp Communities feature will allow people to bring together diverse groups under one umbrella with a structure that works for them. Users can easily organise smaller discussion groups on topics that are important to them and receive updates sent to the broader Community. Communities will also include new admin tools, such as announcement messages delivered to everyone and control over which groups can be included.

WhatsApp is introducing message reactions similar to those found on other Meta-owned services such as Instagram and Facebook Messenger.

Users can ‘react' to messages with emoticons thanks to this feature. Users will only need to press and hold a message they wish to respond to, then drag their finger to the proper emoji. The reaction will be accessible to all members of the group and will display below the text.
