Voice and text statuses are coming soon to WhatsApp
WhatsApp developers are going to add new features to the branded application.
It is about the ability to publish test and voice statuses. This is already being tested in the beta version of the application for iOS users. According to WABetaInfo, the voice statuses will have a duration of 30 seconds and will receive end-to-end encryption. In addition, in the settings it will be possible to choose users who will be able to listen to your statuses.
It is not known when the innovations will appear for all users
