WhatsApp: The brand new voice status has just arrived!
Never stingy with new features, WhatsApp is still offering us a great one at the start of February. We knew the text, image or video statuses, now comes the voice statuses. Kezako? Well the ability to record a thirty-second voice message for your contacts to refer to when they have nothing better to do, which is bound to happen at some point or another.
All your contacts? If you wish, yes, but it is not an obligation because, as specified in the official whatsapp releaseyou can define the precise audience that will have access to your precious status: “We allow you to change your privacy settings status by status so you can choose who can see each update. » That’s it, now we’ll have to be careful not to get our brushes tangled up.
React!
The fun doesn’t stop there as you can also react to your friends’ statuses the same way you do with regular messages. A simple swipe and no less than eight emojis will be offered to you to express your emotions. If that’s not enough, we find you very difficult, but hey… you can also reply with text, stickers or of course other voice messages, and so on!
status rings
For the most distracted who need visual stimulation to activate their neurons, the new status ring will ensure that they don’t miss the updates shared by their contacts. This pretty colored circle will indeed adorn the profile picture of all individuals who have published a status update and will be observable in the conversation lists, the lists of members of a group as well as in the information of the contact in question.
WhatsApp increasingly inclusive
In addition to the fun, fast and practical side of this voice status, we welcome this desire of instant messaging to work towards ever more inclusiveness. Indeed the official blog states: “Voice status can be used to share more personal updates, especially if you’re more comfortable speaking than writing. » In other words, the illiterate and the illiterate will be particularly happy to discover this new feature. Spelling, grammar and all those useless things will soon find their well-deserved place at the bottom of the dustbins of history. Voicemail was already a big step in that direction, here’s a new one. People without arms, hands or fingers will also be among the great beneficiaries of this innovation, leaving a voice status is now within reach!
It’s for when ?
This new feature is officially launched since yesterday February 7, 2023, but it may not be immediately available on your phone. Don’t worry, it won’t take long, because it’s not something new reserved for the beta version, it just takes a little time to deploy it on two billion devices… So a little patience, it’s happening!
