The latest WhatsApp update in its beta version has revealed a feature that will be coming to all users soon. It is a new option for voice memos or audios . This time it is not a function for the receiver, but for the sender: WhatsApp audios can be paused when you are recording them. It is something that, probably, no one has asked for and that has a somewhat limited utility. It is already being tested and you will soon have it on your mobile.
It will be possible to pause the recording of audios in WhatsApp
Currently, if you start recording a voice memo on WhatsApp, you have two options: delete it or send it. If in the middle of the voice note you need to stop, you must choose between sending it and continuing on a new note or deleting it and trying to record it again.
With the new WhatsApp function it will give the possibility to momentarily pause the recording. WABetaInfo has revealed a screenshot showing a pause icon to stop recording and then resume it.
If the 2 minute audios of your friends were not enough now you should know that they can take breaks to continue telling you what happened to them yesterday. These types of functions motivate the audios to feel longer and longer , something that many users detest.
At the moment the function is being tested in the beta version and it is likely that it will soon reach the stable version for all. You may not need an app update and it will appear overnight.
