The popular messaging platform WhatsApp, which usually comes forward with amazing and beneficial features for its users, has rolled out an update to play voice messages back faster than they were recorded.

WhatsApp now allows its users to play the voice recordings faster than they were recorded. A quite useful feature if you’ve received a voice message that lasts for many minutes, but don’t have time to listen to it.

With this new update, the users have got access to three playback speed options for their voice messages.

These options are:

  1. 1x which plays your voice messages 1 time faster than the default speed
  2. 1.5x which plays your voice messages 1.5 times faster than the default speed
  3. 2x which plays your voice messages 2 times faster than the default speed

WhatsApp’s Upcoming Feature Will Help Users Send photos, videos more privately

by
WhatsApp new feature

The globally popular messaging application WhatsApp often treats its users with a number of useful and amazing features.

This time, the latest update by WhatsApp will allow its users to send photos and videos more privately.

WABetaInfo said, “The feature was still under development, but there were some new details that came to light. “WhatsApp is working on an alert to introduce the feature when it will be enabled.”

“WhatsApp explains that this feature will help sending photos and videos more privately, because recipients can only open your photo or video once, before it disappears,” it said.

“WhatsApp intends to specify that recipients can still take screenshots to save the self-destructing media: so we can understand that they do not want to implement a screenshot/video capture detection feature in WhatsApp for this type of media,” WABetaInfo added.

The new feature is under development for iOS and Android and it will be available in a future update.

Earlier, a new feature introduced by WhatsApp let Android users mute the audio on video files before they share it on their status as well. The feature is available only for Android devices for now, and availability on iOS is not yet confirmed.

Here’s how you can use the feature in a few easy steps.

How To Mute Videos On WhatsApp Before Sharing

Step 1: To send someone a muted video, first make sure you have updated to the latest version of WhatsApp. Proceed by opening a contact’s chat window.

Step 2: Once you’re in the chat window, click on the paperclip icon and choose Gallery to attach a video file.

Step 3: Click on a video file from the previews to choose the video file that you want to send. In the subsequent screen look for a new speaker icon on the top left, just below the frames of the video.

Step 4: Click on this speaker icon to mute the audio of that video file, before you tap the send button. This will send your contact a video-only version of the file. You can also click on the button again to unmute the same video.

WhatsApp To limit features for its users From May 15 Onwards

by
If sharing sensitive information on WhatsApp makes you feel uncomfortable, try using the disappearing messages feature. But be cautious, there is a problem there as well.

Popular messaging application WhatsApp has intended to execute its new privacy policies, which ultimately triggered the users of the app.

The new WhatsApp policies also resulted in a digital mass-exodus, forcing WhatsApp users to shift to more secure apps such as Signal or Telegram.

Many users freaked out about their chats and data being shared with tech giant Facebook.

However, after the provoked hassle by users, the application pushed the dates for accepting the privacy policy to May 15.

It also reiterated what data it will be taking from its users, assuring them that their private chats with friends and family will remain protected by end-to-end encryption.

“The information we share with the other Facebook Companies includes your account registration information (such as your phone number), transaction data (for example, if you use Facebook Pay or Shops in WhatsApp), service-related information, information on how you interact with businesses when using our Services, mobile device information, your IP address, and may include other information identified in the Privacy Policy section entitled ‘Information We Collect’ or obtained upon notice to you or based on your consent,” WhatsApp said in a statement.

WhatsApp in its FAQs about the new privacy policy has stated that users have until May 15 to admit the new terms and conditions. If they fail to do so, the app will start to restrict its features for the users.
