WhatsApp Releases Update to Record Long Voice Messages & Watch You Tube Videos

November 28, 2017

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 28-11-2017

Social media company WhatsApp has released a new update to its app, allowing users a more convenient way to record long voice messages, and a picture-in-picture mode for viewing YouTube videos.

While WhatsApp’s voice message recording ability has been a popular feature on the chat platform, holding down the microphone button to keep recording was frustrating if a user wanted to send a particularly long audio recording.

The new update now has the ability to lock recording so users can record a voice message without holding the button down.

The other update in version 2.17.81 is the ability to watch YouTube videos received in a chat right from within WhatsApp. Thanks to picture-in-picture, users can also keep watching the video as you navigate to another chat.

WhatsApp recently introduced an ‘unsend feature’ which lets users delete messages sent by mistake.

The update is available for both Android and iOS devices.
