WhatsApp's new global voice note player comes to desktop

WhatsApp has received many features and improvements over the past few months. Recently, the iOS app gained a new global voice note player that allows users to continue listening to voice notes in the background. Now WhatsApp is looking to extend this feature to the desktop app.

The new global audio player is now available for some users on WhatsApp Desktop. Screenshots shared by WABetainfo show how the feature will look when used by all desktop users. The feature is similar to the mobile version; when you start playing a voice note, playback no longer stops when you switch to a different chat. The voice note will continue playing in the background. When you exit a chat while a voice note is playing, a small media player appears at the bottom, showing a progress bar and a play button.

#The global voice note player is available to all users running the latest beta version of WhatsApp Desktop. Please note that this feature is not yet available on Android. WABetainfo notes that it will be coming to Android in an upcoming update.

Last April, WhatsApp added the ability to change the playback speed of voice notes. WhatsApp also now lets you preview voice notes before sending them to someone. Additionally, the service is developing a transcription feature that will use speech recognition technology to automatically transcribe spoken messages.

WhatsApp is also testing a new drawing tool that allows users to draw thicker or thinner lines on images/videos. It's also preparing a new transfer tool that will eventually let Android users move their chats to iOS.
