With the next update available to its millions of users Whatsapp is preparing to introduce something new to the voice notes that are shared in the states: it will be possible to make recordings of one minute and no more than just thirty seconds.
The possibility of inserting vocal notes in the states the famous instant messaging app was launched for the first time by Meta two years ago, enjoying moderate success among users of the platform. The limit of thirty seconds of note duration had however made many users turn up their noses, who were forced to make multiple recordings to load a longer message, breaking a single concept into several parts and causing the fluidity of a thought to be lost. Thanks to this innovation they will be able to avoid annoying cuts which many were now accustomed to, it being understood that it will still have to remain below one minute in duration.
Vocal states are short audio recordings introduced with the aim of enclosing situations, reflections or concepts with your contacts in a limited period of time. Born with the idea of being quick updates on one's status, they were considered more than sufficient for them thirty seconds duration: a time that is too short for lovers of voice recordings and for those who usually prefer to insert more details. This is why it was often necessary for them to split a thought or concept, making it more mechanical and less fluid.
The new feature arriving on the instant messaging app has been designed precisely for this type of person, with the extension of the recording time by a further 30 seconds compared to the past. The status function, although characteristic of WhatsApp, is certainly not exclusive to the platform, given that for example it is Snapchat That Instagram they make similar and much more advanced tools available to their users.
At the moment, as explained by WABetaInfo, we are still in a rollout phase, but it will soon be released for millions of users, given that it has been identified both for iOS systems with the beta version 24.10.10.74 and for Android systems with the beta 2.24.7.6.
Someone has already been able to appreciate the new features with the latest updates, but if this is still not the case there is no need to be alarmed: within a few days everyone will be able to insert voice notes lasting a
minute. It should be noted that even simply to listen to messages of this duration you will need to do the same update: otherwise you will only be able to listen to the first thirty seconds of recording.
