WhatsApp is developing a new function based on a global voice note player, which allows you to listen to them without interruption without the need to stay in the chat of the contact who sent it.
According to several portals, it is a tool already available for some users in the beta version for iOS devices (v22.1.72) and that gives the option of interacting with other contacts without the audio note stopping when the user exits. the conversation from which you received it.
Thus, thanks to this global player, voice memos can continue to be heard in the background, as if it were a music player.
It should be remembered that, currently, to be able to listen to a voice file, it is necessary to stay in the chat of the contact who sent it, although its playback can be accelerated at different speeds: normal (x1), fast (x1.5) and super fast (x2).
At the moment, this option of the beta version has been implemented in some accounts, including WhatsApp Business (v22.1.72), in that operating system. However, the feature is still in development for Android and there is no release date.
