Meta-owned WhatsApp working on voice status updates on iOS beta: Report
Selected beta testers can now share voice notes as status updates by accessing the new feature within the text status section, reports WABetaInfo.
The maximum recording time for a voice note is 30 seconds, and users also have the option to forward voice notes from their chats to status.
The platform also provides users more control over their voice recordings by offering the ability to discard a recording before sharing it.
Similar to images and videos, voice notes shared via status will automatically disappear after 24 hours and users can delete them for everyone at any time.
Moreover, the shared voice notes are end-to-end encrypted so only people whom users choose can listen to them.
The new feature is expected to be widely rolled out to more users over the coming weeks, the report said.
On Wednesday, it was reported that the messaging platform was rolling out the same feature on Android beta.
