Do you want to see a preview of your WhatsApp voice messages before sending them? WhatsApp launched a preview voice message feature this week, allowing users to review a draft of their audio recordings before sharing them with others. You can listen to and preview voice messages before sending them in an individual thread or a group chat. The update assists you in avoiding sending a voice message that does not make complete sense or that requires an update with some correction. You can also listen to your voice message before sending it to ensure that the audio is clear.
WhatsApp has added voice message preview for all Android and iOS users, as well as those using the Web or desktop.
This article will walk you through the steps necessary to preview your WhatsApp voice messages before sending them to your contacts.
How to use WhatsApp voice message preview
Before you begin using the voice message preview feature, make sure you have the most recent WhatsApp version on your device.
- Open an individual or group chat on WhatsApp.
- Tap and hold the microphone button next to the message textbox and then slide up to lock hands-free recording. On the Web and desktop versions of WhatsApp, you don’t need to slide up as both offer hands-free recording after clicking the microphone.
- Now, start speaking your voice message.
- Tap the stop button to finish the recording.
- Hit the play button to listen to your recording. You can also move to a particular part of your recording by tapping the seek bar.
If your message is appropriate and ready to be shared, click the send button. Otherwise, tap the trash can to delete your voice message and then repeat the steps above to record another.
