WhatsApp developers in the new beta version of the messenger have simplified the exchange of voice messages in the push-to-talk mode, which appeared in the appendix in 2013 and since then has undergone almost no changes.

After updating WhatsApp, users will be able to record voice messages without holding the record button clamped for as long as they dictate the message to their subscriber, WABetaInfo informs..

According to the publication, soon after pressing the record button on it appears a lock image, meaning that the button can no longer be held.

In addition, during the recording, you can view chat messages. At the same time, switching to other chat rooms will not be possible - this will cause the record to be disconnected, and the message will have to be re-dialed.

Recall that the ability to exchange short voice messages is also implemented in the telegrams Telegram and Viber.
