The global voice message player
After releasing different playback speeds for audio messages, WhatsApp is now working on a global voice message player that will allow listening to voice messages even when you leave chats because it’s pinned to the top of the other application. It’s always visible when you open any app and you can pause or dismiss the voice message at any time.
This feature will be beneficial for those users who receive long voice messages, it will enable them to listen to the messages while replying to other users or working on some different app. WABetaInfo said that this function is still under development, so it’s not available for the public or even for beta testers.
