WHATSAPP / Quickly update your WhatsApp! Here comes the heart-warming features; you will be stunned

A new update has come for iOS users on WhatsApp. Voice recording can be paused and resumed on WhatsApp. The updated WhatsApp also brings support for Focus Mode, which is a part of iOS 15.  the new features are currently available for select iPhone users, although they will be available for all eligible users in the coming weeks. Via WhatsApp for iOS version 22.5.75, the instant messaging app has enabled iPhone users to pause and resume while recording a voice message. It essentially replaces the existing stop button that was introduced in December with dynamic pause and resume buttons via the voice message preview feature.

This is how you can resume and pause voice notes

You can try the new WhatsApp voice messaging experience by swiping up to lock your voice recording and then tapping the pause and resume buttons. The ability to pause voice message recording was first seen in October last year. However, it was not available for WhatsApp users till now.

Feature not available for Android users

It is also important to note that the updated experience is currently unique to iPhone owners as users on WhatsApp for Android are still not able to resume and pause their voice message recordings.

Now rolled out to all users

The updated version of WhatsApp is currently available for select users, people of the old version have also started getting the experience of new voice message recording. By allowing users to pause and resume their voice message recording, WhatsApp has taken another step to refine the voice message experience on its app.

come focus mode

Another change for WhatsApp users updated for iOS is support for focus mode. This will allow users to consider receiving messages from selected users, even when you don't want to be bothered by regular notifications.

With the latest update, WhatsApp for iOS has started displaying profile photos in notifications. It's just like looking at the profile photos of people who direct message you on Twitter. It was also spotted by WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo earlier this month. This feature is also limited to users of iOS 15 and later versions.
