WhatsApp is testing a new feature that allows users to quickly reply to voice messages with just one tap. It aims to improve the speed and ease of responding to voice notes. This update can be particularly helpful for Galaxy users who prefer voice messages over text.
WhatsApp makes it easy to reply to voice messages
The new one-tap quick reply button in WhatsApp appears next to a voice message while listening to it. This button allows users to instantly record and send a voice response. Previously, users needed to swipe on the voice message or tap the “reply” option before being able to record their response. The new feature makes things a lot more convenient, improving the flow of conversations.
Since your voice response automatically links to the original voice message, it provides a more intuitive interaction. It enables users to reply to specific voice notes more easily. You don’t have to manually initiate a reply, thus saving time and reducing the chances of missing important details in a conversation.
This one-tap reply feature significantly improves the WhatsApp experience for Galaxy users who regularly rely on voice messages to communicate. The Meta-owned messaging platform regularly rolls out new features and enhancements to make conversations more enjoyable. This is certainly one such tool.
As things stand, WhatsApp is testing the new feature among beta users. It is testing several other upgrades, including an online counter for group chats. The new features will roll out to users globally after thorough testing. It could take several weeks or months, depending on the changes and how they affect the overall functioning of the app.
If you’d like to try out the updates before they’re widely available, you can join the WhatsApp beta program. While it’s currently full, new slots may open up in the future, so it’s worth checking back once in a while.
