Pictures, videos, and text updates have mainly been the only kind of updates allowed for WhatsApp’s Status updates, which are the app’s equivalent of the Stories feature we see on other platforms like Instagram.
However, it appears that the platform will soon introduce support for Voice Notes, giving users greater options regarding their Status updates.
Similar to how users may send Voice Notes to other WhatsApp users in the chat window, Voice Note Status updates, or “Voice Status,” would allow users to record a small audio and publish it on their Status page.
By simply recording oneself and uploading the same, users will be able to easily send vital updates with sound cues or a list of instructions with their contacts via Voice Status updates.
According to a recent report from WABetaInfo, the feature is presently under development and will be included in a later release. Additionally, a screenshot depicts how the implementation will seem.
The graphic shows that whenever you make new Status updates, a special voice button will appear. You can record the voice note that will be shared by pressing this button to go to voice status.
Voice Status updates will probably adhere to the same privacy settings as your normal Status updates, so those who do not have access to regular status updates won’t be able to see your Voice updates.
Depending on how your personal privacy settings are configured, who can view these changes.
