Tired of long voice notes? WhatsApp may be speeding up the pace
Updated | By Scenic Drive With Rian
Tired of those long voice notes that are basically podcasts? WhatsApp may be pacing up the speed with a new feature.

We all have that one family member or friend who loves to send long voice notes. Or should we rather call them 'podcasts'?
WhatsApp is working on a brand new feature to speed up voice notes that are too long.

The popular messaging platform is working on three different playback speed options for voice notes on both Android and iOS.
The options will be 1.0x, 1.5x, or even 2.0x speeds.
Yesterday @WABetaInfo has announced that @WhatsApp was working on 3 different playback speeds for voice messages, on WhatsApp for Android.
