WhatsApp could soon allow users to pause voice messages while recording
WhatsApp is surely one of the most popularly used messaging apps in the world, but it is not precisely the most feature-rich. For the most part, its features are worthless in comparison to its direct competitors, the Telegram, and the recent Facebook multi-hour outage did not really help its cause.
In any case, Telegram was the biggest winner of the downtime, as it gained a lot of popularity among users. That said, the Facebook-owned service has been working on many things to increase user experience. As identified by WABetaInfo, the future will be reported to allow users to pause voice messages while recording.
In the meantime, you can tap and hold the microphone or slide icon to lock it in place while recording a voice note. This means that if you are disturbed in the middle, the only way to fix it is by deleting the current recording and starting at the beginning.

Alternatively, with this update, Whatsapp will display a “stop” button to pause the recording. When clicked, the pause button will be replaced by a mic button that will enable you to continue your voice note when ready. This can be useful for recording with short bursts and dealing with distractions.
While WABetaInfo has provided only direct evidence of a feature running on iOS, this report confirms that it is also in Android development. That said, it may take a while before you see the world, as the feature is still being developed but up to the stage of beta testing.
WhatsApp is improving its interface with the latest beta update, which introduces a new audio call bar feature. The update is available for Android users with version 2.24.10.18 via the Google Play Beta Program.
With version 2.24.7.19, WhatsApp brought a redesigned calling screen with clearer buttons and a minimized option. Now, WhatsApp takes a step further by adding a call bar at the top of the screen, allowing users to manage audio calls without staying on the call screen. This bar allows users to mute or end calls directly.
This feature is mainly beneficial for users who multitask, as it enables them to handle calls while engaging in other activities within the app. The call bar’s design provides easy access to essential call functions.
The rollout of the new audio call bar feature is gradual, with more beta testers expected to receive access in the coming days. The full release of this feature to all users is scheduled for future updates. Through this new feature, WhatsApp aims to make audio call management more convenient and user-friendly.

WhatsApp Beta 2.24.10.13 beta update is rolling out for Android users, which enhances user privacy with a hidden community group chats feature. This feature is currently under development and will be available in future updates.
The new feature of WhatsApp will let users make certain groups invisible within their community chat lists to enhance their control over privacy within the app.
Each hidden group will be easily identified as it will have a special icon next to its name, making it clear to community members that the group is not visible to everyone.
This new feature aims to provide users with more privacy options. It allows hidden participation in group chats, without displaying activity to the entire community. The icon is a simple indicator for users to manage their group chats more effectively.
The Hidden Community Group Chats feature of WhatsApp is mainly useful for community moderators, who will have better tools to manage group privacy and organization. By allowing groups to be hidden, sensitive discussions can be kept confidential.

WhatsApp has introduced a new interface for viewing status updates with the latest update. The fresh beta update is available for Android users with 2.24.10.10 via the Google Play Beta Program. The update brings a redesigned status tray that simplifies how users interact with statuses on WhatsApp.
The revamped design allows users to see a preview of statuses directly in the updates tray. This feature was highly requested after an earlier update changed the layout to a less user-friendly design.
Previously, WhatsApp replaced thumbnail previews with just profile pictures, which users found inefficient for navigating through statuses. Responding to user feedback, WhatsApp has now made it easier to view statuses at a glance without needing to open each one.
The redesigned interface of status updates tray is currently available to a limited number of WhatsApp beta testers and will be rolled out to more users in the upcoming weeks.
