That vile torture is over. Both for the person who records the message and for the person who receives several audio notes that are cut off. WhatsApp has come up with the definitive solution to improve the user experience when sending these audio notes: block them. A simple gesture with which to be able to continue recording audio without having to keep the terminal screen pressed But this is not the only novelty received by WhatsApp users on iPhone.
New version 2.17.81 of WhatsApp for iOS
WhatsApp has just released a new update for users of the messaging application on the iOS platform. In other words, for iPhone owners And, for the moment, for iPad users there are only rumors of an application in development.
The issue here is that WhatsApp lists two important new features on the download page of the App Store. One refers to the aforementioned feature of blocking audio messages during their recording. The other, however, talks about the possibility of playing videos from the YouTube platform directly in WhatsApp. Of course, in our tests, for the moment, this last feature does not appear active
How to prevent audio recording from being cut off
The most important feature of this update has to do with voice notes.Until now many users suffered from constant cuts during recording You just have to keep the microphone icon pressed, but for strange reasons, in addition to comfort, any movement it ended with the premature cut of the audio. Which made it necessary to repeat the action over and over again until the entire message was conveyed. Until now.
From now on, all you have to do is keep pressing for a couple of seconds. Enough to slide your finger up to the lock icon With this the recording keeps going, but we can take our finger off the screen to speak freely. Really comfortable on various occasions. Say goodbye to audio cut off prematurely.
YouTube videos on WhatsApp
At the moment it is hidden within the recent update received in iOS, but it is something that has already appeared even in the description of the App Store.We refer to the reproduction of YouTube videos within WhatsApp Just click on a link received in a message to watch the video instantly and without leaving WhatsApp.
This is an improvement in the user experience, since it is now possible to watch the video while you continue chatting or consulting the conversation. The video is reproduced in what is known as picture-in-picture system, or image in image in Spanish That is, as a pop-up window that remains on the screen working independently from the rest of the application.
For now it is not known what WhatsApp plans are with this function. So just wait until sometime in the near future decide to turn on that feature The good thing is that it's already inside the app, so all you have to do is to be activated from the WhatsApp servers, without the need for a new update.
No news about the app for iPad
WABetaInfo recently unveiled what many have been waiting for years: a WhatsApp application for iPad tablets Of course, for now there are no pictures or information. Only references within the code of WhatsApp on iOS that suggest that this special application is in development.
It is only known that would be a “particular” application. With its own characteristics, according to the expert's comments. Nothing that makes us think, at the moment, about what it will be like or what extra features it will show.
