Voice messages in WhatsApp are very popular – but not everyone can or wants to hear an entire clip in one go. You don’t have to, because the messenger service hides a practical function from you.
TikToker TaTechTips shared an ingenious trick on his channel. If you receive a voice message, you can play it and leave the chat room. WhatsApp will then display a new menu at the top of the screen that you can use to control playback.
Play voice messages, pause and continue listening later
This is especially useful if you want to share the information you received with another person. Now it may happen that you have to switch to another app. No problem for WhatsApp, because the voice message remains open and can be continued as soon as you call up the messenger service again.
The popular messenger service keeps getting interesting and useful new functions. So you can soon fight your flood of news with a new filter. If you are in charge of many groups, you will soon have even more control over who is allowed to participate.
