VOICE WAVEFORMS
6 months ago, we have announced that WhatsApp was working on a new experience while playing voice notes, thanks to a new interface: the possibility to see voice waveforms in your chat bubbles. In reality, WhatsApp has already enabled this layout in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.21.13.17 version, but it was temporarily: the feature has been immediately disabled after a new update.
Finally, WhatsApp is releasing the new layout to select WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS testers today!
As you can see in this screenshot, specific beta testers can now see voice waveforms in chat bubbles, but not always: you can see voice waveforms for your voice notes if the feature is enabled for your WhatsApp account, but voice waveforms may still not show up when receiving a voice note from someone that have the feature disabled or when the voice note has been recorded using an old version of WhatsApp.
The new layout is rolling out to select beta testers on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS, and more activations are planned after releasing new updates.
