WhatsApp keeps testing a lot of features and a new one has now been spotted in the beta version of the app. The platform is testing a Voice Status update, which sounds pretty cool because WhatsApp currently lets you send voice messages to regular chats. The feature is pretty self-explanatory. It lets you share a voice note as status update. Here is everything we know about the latest update on WhatsApp. WaBetaInfo has spotted the new feature in 2.22.21.5 Android beta update, and eligible users will see it in the text status section of the app.

The messaging app even lets you configure who all can check out your Voice Status update. People will also get control over their voice recordings as the app will also give the ability to discard a recording before making it public. It is unknown whether the play pause process will be as seamless as the one WhatsApp offers for regular chats. The app automatically saves your voice messages even if you close WhatsApp while recording something and lets you continue recording the messaging where you left.
