Some weeks ago I’ve announced that WhatsApp was working on a new experience for voice messages, implementing a new system to listen to voice messages before sending them.
The new interface also included real-time voice waveforms while recording your voice message.
The feature is still under development on WhatsApp for iOS, but WhatsApp is working on it on WhatsApp for Android today. When the feature will be enabled, you can see voice waveforms when you record a voice message:
When the user taps the stop button, he will be able to listen to the voice message before sending it.
The feature is under development on WhatsApp for Android too, but stay tuned to discover when the feature is ready to be released for beta testers!
