WhatsApp has simplified communication. Particularly popular among users: the voice message. But especially with longer recordings the problems with the function reveal themselves. With a hidden recorder, WhatsApp offers the right solution.
Voice messages are the fast medium of our time. Instead of typing long text blocks, WhatsApp users often prefer to use the voice message. This is faster than typed and requires less attention. However, this form of communication also has its disadvantages.
Unnecessary hidden
WhatsApp must remain open during recording, and the finger must remain permanently on the microphone symbol. If it is raised, WhatsApp sends the voice recording directly to the addressee. WhatsApp does not allow you to listen to your own message before sending it again. Only option: Cancel the recording and start from the beginning.
At leastest of Android but there is a solution, which solves several problems with the voice message. A menu for further functions opens via the office clip symbol in the "write message" line. Clicking on the orange "Audio" icon and then "Recording with WhatsApp" starts the hidden recorder. This allows not only voice messages with a length of up to 15 minutes. But it also continues to take place when you switch between app into another app, so synonymous without holding the record key. Third plus point of the recorder: You can listen to the recording yourself before you send it. Just wonder why WhatsApp hides this actually much more meaningful variant of the voice message in a submenu.
Did you know, that you can keep the smartphone as listening to a voice message as with a normal telephone call to the ear? The message is then played back over the top loudspeaker next to the front camera, without any third party being able to hear.
