WhatsApp already allows you to listen to chained audios on Android

It has already been leaked, but now the feature is available for those advanced users of the Android platform. We are talking about the possibility of chaining audio playback in WhatsApp. That is, to give play or play the first of a series of audios and not have to press more times on the rest of the messages in the string. Something most convenient when our interlocutors like to send a whole series of audios.

We say that the function is available for advanced users because, at the moment, WhatsApp is testing the function in its beta or test version 2.19.86. In other words, a version where new features such as this function are introduced so that they can be tested by a small group of users In this way, if there is a bug that worsens the experience general of WhatsApp or that jeopardizes the security or privacy of users, may be corrected before reaching the general public. But, meanwhile, we can test it if we are beta tester users or testers.

With this new function it is enough to have two audio messages in a row to play them at once. Press to start playing the first one and stay tuned to hear the second one followedThis is especially comfortable when we listen to WhatsApp audio in phone mode, holding the terminal to our ear. So we don't have to separate the device from our head, search for the next audio and play it. You just have to stay and listen to it all at the same time.

Other news

But this new beta version of WhatsApp does not come only with advances in audio playback. There is also an improved function picture-in-picture That is, the possibility of playing content directly in the WhatsApp chat in a pop-up window that does not prevent you from continuing to write messages . The improvements in this case come from the possibility of changing the chat without closing the YouTube window, for example. Even when we leave WhatsApp, leaving the video playing on the desktop. The only problem is that, at the moment, we cannot experience its operation, since it is still in full development.We will have to wait, then, to be able to enjoy its virtues.

And, regarding iOS users, WhatsApp for iPhone also brings news in its latest beta or test version. One of them is to include the emoticon of two silhouettes in the notifications of received messages when they arrive from group chats. In addition, as happened on Android a few weeks ago, WhatsApp users on iPhone will also have two new emoticons transgenders One of them is the flag of the collective, while that the other is the icon with which reference is made to the people of said group. Of course, at the moment they are not in the collection of WhatsApp emoticons, but hidden. You have to write these characters “&x1f3f3;️⚧” to show the flag, and this other “⚧” to see the symbol.

All these news are known thanks to the work of WABetaInfo, a website that is dedicated to scrutinizing all the news of each of the updates that WhatsApp launches for all its platforms. However, urges us to wait patiently for these functions, as some of them are in development, with no official date for publication on the official version of WhatsApp for all.

At the moment only Android beta testers will be able to start testing the chained playback of audio messages.
