WhatsApp voice status: How it works
WABetaInfo has also posted the screenshot where it can be seen that the company has added a new ‘microphone’ icon at the bottom of the status tab. Tapping on the option will let users record a quick note and post it as a status update.
It is also important to note that the voice status will only be available for people you choose in the privacy settings. Along with that it will also be end-to-end encrypted like calls and messages.
As of now, it is not clear when the company will roll out this feature to the final build of the app. Also, the feature is currently rolling out only in beta.
