WhatsApp recently rolled out a new and useful feature for the Android Beta testers. This new feature helps the users in enabling WhatsApp audio at multiple speeds. Undoubtedly, WhatsApp has become a part of our daily lives. We cannot even imagine a single day without it. Founded by Jan Koum and Brian Acton, the app is now owned by Facebook. It is literally the coolest messenger ever developed. There are currently 390.1 million WhatsApp users in India. In the US, 108.4 million people use the application. You can easily figure out by the statistics that how WhatsApp rules people’s lives.
WhatsApp New Audio Feature
Rumors regarding this new WhatsApp feature started to spread in the month of March this year. However, the feature has now started to roll out finally for its Beta Testers. This feature was enabled in a very short period of time, as compared to other features that WhatsApp launches. Although it is available to only a few users at this point in time, still it has gained a lot of recognition. This feature will be released for others as well in a short period of time. WeBetaInfo, WhatsApp’s activity tracking website, confirmed the new feature.
Can you Access the New Feature?
In case you want to test whether your application has adopted this feature or not, you simply have to play an audio file. While playing audio, if the playback speed option is available to you, then kudos! Your application is updated to the newest version. Currently, there are three playback speed options. They are – 1x, 1.5x, and 2x. However, this feature will take a little more time to reach more Beta users. And even more, time, to reach to people all across the globe. The new WhatsApp version is 2.21.60.11. Hopefully, it is going to be a very fun feature, especially for the lazy ones. We can expect this new feature to launch in the next 6 months for all users.
WhatsApp Privacy Policy Controversy
Recently, a month ago, WhatsApp was backlashed completely due to a new privacy policy. Rumors were spread that the app could now access all your data and share it on Facebook. However, the company denied all these claims and said that they were just updating policies. All the messages and data on WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted. This means that data will remain between the sender and the receiver only. No third party will be involved in this process. Many users across the globe started uninstalling the application. Later on, when claims were removed, people have started to have faith in the app again.
