WhatsApp is one of the most popular social media platform which is used by millions of users. WhatsApp updated many new features for its users time to time and now WhatsApp has announced to roll out a feature that lets you preview your voice messages before sending them to your contacts.
This update lets you listen to your voice messages and check if the audio is fine to share on the instant messaging app. If it isn't, you can discard your voice message and re-record it to share.
The voice message preview feature on WhatsApp works with both individual and group chats. Also, it has been released for all platforms including Android and iOS as well as web and desktop.
Process of voice message preview feature
To use the voice message preview feature on your mobile device, you need to touch the microphone button in WhatsApp chat and slide it up to lock hands-free recording. This will provide an interface where you will see a stop button and a trash can.
You can tap the stop button and then hit the play button to listen to your voice message before sharing it with the recipient. WhatsApp also allows you to go to a specific part of the audio by tapping on the seek bar.
How to delete recorded message
If you don't like the recorded message, you can delete it by tapping on the trash can. You can send it alternatively by pressing the send button. If you prefer to send voice messages on WhatsApp on their text version then adding the preview feature will be very helpful.
It allows you to draft your voice messages before sending them to your contacts. However, you can still accidentally send random voice messages if you're only touching the microphone button on the app and not sliding it to lock the recording function.
