Published

Meta-owned WhatsApp is once again rolling out a new update for its users, allowing them to have a smooth and better experience while connecting with their loved ones. 

The instant messaging app is releasing the ability to share voice notes through status updates, WaBetaInfo reported Wednesday.

The new update is being introduced through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.23.2.8. However, this feature is only available to some beta testers for now and users will have to wait for a future update to get their hands on the feature. 

The feature would let users “share a voice note as a status update with a certain audience configured within your privacy settings.”

Heres a new way to send voice notes on WhatsApp

As it is shown in the screenshot above, users can share voice notes as status updates by “accessing the feature within the text status section, in case it is enabled for them”. 

The users can also discard a recording before they share it, hence, gaining more control over their voice recordings. As per the app-tracking website, the maximum recording time for the voice note is 30 seconds. 

Moreover, those who want to listen to the voice recordings on status updates need to update their WhatsApp. 

Ensuring the privacy of its users, WhatsApp has made the status updates end-to-end encrypted. This will allow users to share the voice notes with the people they choose within their privacy settings. 

“Similar to images and videos, voice notes shared via status disappear after 24 hours but users also have the ability to delete voice notes for everyone after they have been posted as status updates: users are always in control over what they share,” said WaBetaInfo

The feature will be rolled out to more users in the coming weeks. 

Blocking feature

Last week, the tracking app announced that WhatsApp is working on a block shortcut update right within the notification bar.

The new feature will allow users to block someone when they get a notification of their message on their phones.

“WhatsApp plans to introduce a block shortcut within notifications but not always: the block shortcut is visible only when you receive a message from unknown and untrusted contacts,” said the app tracking website.

The feature is limited to untrusted contacts as users may tap on the block option by mistake when replying to someone through notifications, accidentally blocking their trusted contacts.

The new feature will be available to users in the future update of the app.

On social media, the recent spat between Pakistani singers Aima Baig and Sara Raza Khan has generated a lot of conversation. Aima recently responded to Sara’s criticism over her use of autotune.

Aima “is not a singer at all” without autotune, according to Sara Raza Khan’s earlier claim. This statement swiftly went viral and sparked discussions about authenticity and music technology.

In a recent Instagram story, Aima spoke directly to Sara, asking to be ignored and implying that she was using her name to increase views. Additionally, she counseled Sara to avoid being conceited about a “God-given talent” and to desist from disparaging other female musicians.

Momina Mustehsan has already intervened to support Aima. Momina acknowledged that Aima doesn’t use autotune in her own social media posts, praising her vocal prowess and referring to her as “one of the best” in the business.

But in order to maintain objectivity and encourage a constructive dialogue about natural talent and the place of technology in today’s music industry, Momina also recognized Sara Raza Khan as a gifted vocalist.

Fans responded favorably to Momina’s strategy, which promoted a constructive discussion that acknowledged both artists’ abilities.

“I genuinely feel sympathy for you detractors … “You are all simply obsessed,” Shah commenced writing. “Resenting me merely because you lacked sufficient affection?”Alizeh Shah responds to trolls.She stated, “I understand that being Pakistani and possessing a distinct fashion sense creates numerous challenges for others, but is that truly my concern?” You enjoy watching Pakistani females in short cholis and lehngas in films, yet when we choose to wear anything we prefer, you criticize us? And for what purpose?

I am a public figure, not public property; therefore, please refrain from sharing your unconstructive ideas. “I will no longer tolerate,” Shah declared. “Because it is my prerogative to pursue any actions or identity I desire.”

“Everyone experiences a phase, and if I wish to express it, I will simply articulate it.” The performer said, “Disregard it if it disturbs you.”
