The instant messaging platform WhatsApp is developing a new feature that will allow its iOS users to share voice notes in status updates.

Until now, the messaging network was already working on this function for the Android system, where it has been seen in the 2.22.21.5 update of the beta version, but now it is also being launched for the iOS beta version.

This new function will make it possible to share a voice note of up to 30 seconds in users’ status updates, through the composer that allows text uploads. As it appears in chats, on the right side of the text bar there will be a microphone button through which the voice note can be recorded and shared.

These status updates with voice notes will only be shared with the people the user chooses within the privacy settings, just like the rest, videos, photos or text. And they will be end-to-end encrypted.

WhatsApp’s statuses are a publication format that allows you to share text, photos, videos, GIFs and, soon, voice notes, which disappear 24 hours after they have been uploaded to the platform. In addition, they have their own space, with a tab located in the center of the main interface.

However, this new function is under development, so it is expected that in the future it will be released to beta users to test it and find out how it will be presented specifically. Likewise, this update joins another series of improvements such as the preview of the shared links in the states, which allows you a preview of said links.

WhatsApp began the deployment of a new feature that enables users to view status updates within the chat list itself, without having to go to the tab intended for it.

Currently, the application has a section called “Status”, located between Chats and Calls on the main screen of the application, where the updates of the contacts saved in the agenda or on the SIM card are placed.

The company has been working on a new functionality for months, as several pages advanced last May, when it shared a screenshot taken from the WhatsApp Desktop version.

Then, he indicated that the contacts who had published a status would have a profile image surrounded by a green circle in the Chats section and that the rest of his contacts could view this Status directly from said tab.

Likewise, those who have shared several videos or images of their Status will have a circle around their profile image fragmented into as many parts as status updates made.

At the moment, only some beta testers have access to this feature, although the company is expected to expand its number of users “in the coming weeks”.
