WhatsApp has two ways to send voice messages: press and hold to record or slide up to lock for hands-free recording of longer audio. The latest WhatsApp update merges these two methods and offers a unified experience to the users. Now, it lets them begin voice recording via a single tap. Users do not need to keep the button pressed for longer recording or to slide it up. Once activated, the new WhatsApp voice message recording feature will not require additional user gestures. Although this is a small change, WABetaInfo mentioned that it would help the users with simple daily communications.
