That WhatsApp statuses are even in the soup is something that has been happening for several months now. And now voice messages will do the same, combining precisely with states. Already last summer, we saw the first indications that WhatsApp would allow voice messages to be recorded in the States and now it’s official. At least for some users who have the latest beta.
From WABetaInfo they reveal that version 2.23.2.8 of WhatsApp for Android, which is currently in beta, already integrates the ability to create voice notes among the status creation tools. And although we already know the interface, it assumes one more step for to eventually reach all users
If you are one of the voice note lovers, congratulations
Neither football, nor politics, nor religion. It’s WhatsApp’s voice notes that are really polarizing society. Either you love them or you hate them. Those in this second extreme will wish they had stopped working, but the former are lucky because the sharing of voice states is already a reality for some beta testers, being a feature that is not universally enabled in the beta at the moment.

The chosen interface, at least in the latest beta, is the same as previously revealed. Basically, we get there from the “States” tab by clicking on the microphone icon
Already in the recording tool we find possibilities similar to those of voice notes in chats, except that audios cannot exceed 30 seconds. However, they allow, for example, to reproduce the voice note and even to delete it before downloading it.
It must also be said that, at least from what we see in the screenshots, it will also be possible to customize the background and add other text elements and emojis. The voice note will be seen in the central part with its usual appearance, with the rest of the people having to click on the button player to start playback when they see the status.
For now It is not specified when this feature might arrive to all users who are in beta and not when it will do the same universally in a stable release. In any case, everything indicates that it will not be long and, even if it is not large, it will become one of the innovations of WhatsApp in 2023 after the implementation of the Proxy connection a few weeks ago.
