WhatsApp introduces voice message previews
We’ve all been through this.
You want to send a short voice message to a friend asking if they would like to go to the cinema, but it will take several tries to get it right. In the past, you couldn’t safely send your voice recording to a friend because there was no way to preview the message.
However, now you can review a draft of the voice message before sending it. Not only does this help your gossip make sense, but you can also hear it the way the other side is experiencing it. Is your voice too soft? Does your speech come across as inarticulate? Mumbling, a lot? Read: How To Send Self-Destructive Media Via WhatsApp
