WhatsApp to allow iOS users to preview voice messages in notifications: Report
  • WABetaInfo has tweeted an image of WhatsApp voice messages preview in notifications.
  • It will be available in the future along with other major updates.

If information circulating the internet is to be believed, then WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will let users preview voice messages from the notifications itself. The feature is expected to come as a part of a major update, possible iOS 13. The feature is still under development and there is no information on a concrete launch date for it. Until now, WhatsApp users have been able to preview videos and photos through the notifications. WABetaInfo has tweeted an image of what the preview will look like. The image shows a voice message with a play icon and the name of the sender has been blurred out.

Speaking of other WhatsApp features, in June it was reported that Whatsapp is testing a feature that lets you share your status to other apps. The feature has already started rolling for beta users. Therefore, the users on the latest WhatsApp beta version will start to see a share a button beneath their status. The feature enables you to share your status on apps like Facebook, Instagram, Gmail and Google Photos. You can read more about the feature here.

The criminals can take advantage of a flaw that exposes these media files and they can then be manipulated by malicious actors, Symantec’s Modern OS Security team has found.
