"WhatsApp will let you share longer voice notes as status updates, how the feature works"

WhatsApp is rolling out a feature that enables users to share longer voice notes as status updates. Here's how the feature works

WhatsApp is enhancing its status update feature by allowing users to post longer voice notes. Users can now share voice notes of up to 1 minute as status updates.

WhatsApp is introducing a new feature that allows users to post longer voice notes as status updates. With this update, users can now share voice notes of up to 1 minute in length. Recent reports suggest that WhatsApp has been making several changes to its Status Updates feature, including potential interface redesigns and the ability to privately mention contacts. According to a recent report from WA Beta Info, WhatsApp is now rolling out the feature enabling users to post longer voice notes as status updates.

According to the WA Beta Info report, WhatsApp is expanding its status feature for both iOS and Android users. The app, owned by Meta, is enhancing the status feature by allowing users to share voice notes up to 1 minute in length. With this update, users who update to new versions of WhatsApp can now record and share longer audio messages through their status updates, facilitating the communication of more detailed thoughts and stories without interruption.

The ability to post longer videos on WhatsApp status has been a highly anticipated feature, enabling users to share more meaningful and extended clips. This update is particularly beneficial for sharing events, announcements, or any moments that require more than just 30 seconds to capture.

According to screenshots shared by WA Beta Info, users will be able to record voice notes by holding down a mic button, similar to sending a voice note in chats. Users can also slide to cancel the voice note.

As mentioned earlier, the new feature is available to some users with the latest WhatsApp version. Android users can find the update on the Google Play Store, while iOS users can download it from the App Store. This feature is expected to be rolled out to more users in the coming days.

In addition to longer voice notes, WhatsApp is also working on other features. Recently, reports indicate that WhatsApp is preparing to give users more control over who can view their Status Updates. The messaging app is testing new tools aimed at allowing users to precisely determine who can view their shared content. This means users can have more control over who sees their updates. Furthermore, users can now share longer videos as their status updates, with the ability to share videos up to 1 minute in length. Previously, there was a 30-second limit on videos that could be shared via status updates.
