WhatsApp voice notes soon to keep playing in the background

San Francisco: Meta-owned WhatsApp seems to be adding a number of new features in 2022, and this time, it is beta testing the long-rumored global voice note player with iOS users.  

WhatsApp is planning to roll out a new feature that will allow you to listen to voice messages even if you are shifting to other windows. 

The messaging app is constantly working behind the scenes to add new features to its messaging service, now the global messaging platform is going to roll out much requested and long-overdue features to its service.

Upon launch, the platform will let users play voice notes from one chat while scrolling through another chat. 

In a recent post, WABetaInfo notes that the messaging platform has started rolling out the new global voice note player for iOS beta version 22.1.72 on both the standard and Business apps.  

You will see a new media player at the top of the chat list with the name of the WhatsApp contact it is from, a play/pause button, and an option to close the player. 

For those unversed, WhatsApp recently introduced a feature, which allows you to preview a voice message before sending it so as to avoid any errors. 

The Meta-owned messaging platform is also seen testing a number of other new features lately.
