WHATSAPP has released a clever voice note trick – and fans are going wild for it.
If you’re a fan of voice messages, you’ve probably been annoyed about one key design feature.

Previously it was only possible to listen to a voice message within a chat.
And if you left that chat, the voice message playback would cancel.
Now WhatsApp has tweaked it so that voice playback is universal.
So if you start listening to a voice message in one conversation, you can leave that chat and talk to someone else.
The voice note will continue playing in the background.
This is especially handy if a voice note is quite long, and you want to keep using WhatsApp without being locked into the same channel.
To get the new feature, make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of the app.
The trick was shared by TikTok star @tatechtips, where it’s racked up over 2,000 likes.
