As per the report, users will be able to see the voice waveforms in their voice messages if the feature is enabled for their WhatsApp account. However, it may not be displayed when receiving a voice note from someone who does not have the feature enabled.
Voice waveform isn't the only new feature WhatsApp is working on for the platform. The Meta-owned messaging app is also expected to redesign the chat boxes entirely with rounder, bigger, more colorful bubbles.
The feature is currently being tested for iOS beta users, according to a previous report, and it could be a while before this major design change rolls out to everyone.
He is also working on a new feature where users will be able to react to messages with emojis. This is already seen in Facebook Messenger, Instagram Direct Messaging.
The feature will allow users to tap and hold the message they want to react to, then drag in the appropriate emoji. It will be available for individual and group chats as soon as it launches.
Finally, WhatsApp is also working on custom privacy settings for beta Android users. This will add a new “My contacts except” option in privacy settings which will allow users to set last seen for specific contacts.
