You can send voice messages over Whatsapp. It\u2019s actually a rather popular feature on the app and people prefer it over sending a text or making a phone call. It\u2019s not the only app to have voice messages; Viber has the same feature and if you use iMessages on an iOS device, you can send voice messages over it as well. The voice message feature is implemented differently on different apps. With Whatsapp, you have to hold down the mic button and keep it held down while you record your message. This isn\u2019t the easiest way to record a message and often, users release the button before they\u2019re done recording. To circumvent this, Whatsapp now lets you record voice messages in hands free mode by locking the mic.<\/p>\n

This is a new feature so you will have to update the app. If an update isn\u2019t available in your country, wait 24 hours and it ought to appear.<\/p>\n

To record a voice message in hands free mode, tap the mic button. You will, obviously and by habit, hold the button down. After the update though, if you hold the button down, drag it upward, and release it, it will lock the mic.<\/p>\n

You can remove your finger from the button and continue recording your message. Once you\u2019re done, you will have the option to send or discard the message.<\/p>\n

When you lock down the voice message mode in Whatsapp, you will see a pad lock icon appear at the bottom right. If the icon doesn\u2019t appear, it means your upward swipe hasn\u2019t registered with the app. This voice message mode is for one message only i.e., if you record a second, or third message after the first one where you used this mode, you will have to enable it again.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re recording a message, you have the option to scroll through the current chat thread. You cannot browse a different chat thread. If you switch to a different one, the audio message you\u2019ve recorded will automatically be discarded.<\/p>\n

This is pretty neat feature and Whatsapp users will no doubt appreciate it but there should have been an option to always record audio messages in this mode. There\u2019s no reason the feature shouldn\u2019t always work like this. In fact, that\u2019s exactly how the Messages app on iOS does it. You have to tap the mic once to record a message instead of holding the button down. Once you\u2019ve recorded the message, you can send it or discard it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
