How to prevent audio recording from being cut off in WhatsApp

Sending audio is increasingly one of the preferred forms of communication for WhatsApp users. It's quick and easy, and it takes the hassle out of having the corrector correct words for us and having to rewrite. Also, by speaking we can give it the intonation and emphasis we deem appropriate, especially when we send it to close friends.

The problem comes when we want to count something too long, which forces us to keep our finger pressed for a whileRegardless of how annoying it may seem to some, the slightest slip can cause the message to be cut off, and we have to distribute what we are going to tell in several parts. It can also happen that we unconsciously move our finger to the left, even canceling the recording.

To avoid all this, we are going to teach you a trick so you don't have to worry about possible cuts in long WhatsApp messages, and dedicate yourself to what matters: talking. We're going to show you two ways.

Using the WhatsApp recorder

Next time you're going to send a long audio message, instead of hitting the mic button on the right, mark the clip. When doing so, you will get a menu to share all kinds of files, contacts or your own location. Then choose the option Audio

This will take us to a new menu where we will have three sources we want to get the audio from. We have the options Recorder, Select song and Record with WhatsApp We click on the latter and then we will be before a recorder menu specific to the app.

At this moment, if we want to record the message we just have to click the Record button once and start talking There is no limit of time for this recording, so we can give all the details we want without problems. When we have finished, we press the button again, and the recording will be done.

Then we can hit the Play button in case we want to check how the recording turned out, or simply click on Send, and the message will be sentIt will appear in the chat as if it were an external audio, but after all it will be an audio message as usual.

Using the mobile recorder

Although the most intuitive option is the one we have shown you before, we also have the possibility of using the phone's recorder. The operation is the same, except that when we are in the audio menu, we must mark Recorder instead of recording with WhatsApp This will lead us to the recorder app from our phone. In essence, the recording process will be the same as before, with the difference that our recording will also be saved in the phone's internal memory. Besides, the audio quality of the recorder is usually a little better with the mobile recorder, in case you are picky about that topic.

Android only

An important detail is that this tool is only available for the version of WhatsApp for AndroidIf you have iOS, you are going to have to get used to leaving your finger on. The rest of you already know how to make long audio messages in one go, without interruptions or repetitions.

You are already seated and ready to talk, let no one stand between you and your story. Also with this trick, you can do whatever you want with your hands, hold a drink or make a fuss to support a point in your speech. Of course, the recipient will not be able to see them, for that you would have to make a video call.
