Playing audio notes in WhatsApp is fast becoming a more comfortable and universal task: the application works in a audio player that will continue to work regardless of open chat. In this way, it will be possible to listen to the notes of a cat without having to open it.
Writing messages is perhaps the most widely used in WhatsApp, but there is one element that struggles to rise to the top in terms of instant communication: voice notes, these audios which are often more podcasts than a simple spoken sentence. And, since listening to the notes involves staying in the chat until the end, it would be very handy if WhatsApp would allow you to listen to them without having to anchor yourself in the conversation. Yes?

Instant messaging applications such as Telegram offer reproduction of received sounds, be they voice notes, songs and other audio, in a player that remains anchored at the top of the application And it continues to work whether Telegram is open or not. What WhatsApp is up to is very similar to this.
As confirmed by WaBetaInfo, a preeminent in the field of WhatsApp advancements, the Android app has introduced an audio player in its latest beta that paves the way for listen to the notes as if they were a musician. It cannot be used yet because this new functionality is in the code, but inactive.
Voice notes received on WhatsApp will go to be heard in the app regardless of the chat. The player will be docked at the top of the app providing a pause and resume option; also including a timeline to show the exact point where the audio is going.
It is not clear whether this global voice memo player will continue to run even in the background, with the WhatsApp application closed or with the screen off. We also don’t know when WhatsApp will activate this feature: according to WaBetaInfo, it works as expected, but you still need to complete the development process. Surely it won’t take too long for us to be able to use the new audio player for WhatsApp voice notes.
