WhatsApp is already compatible with the new voice notes

We already have the WhatsApp update we’ve been waiting for. With this new version, now available, we can already enjoy the new voice notes, concentration modes and finally we see the profile pictures which sends us the message in the notifications.

New voice notes

Voice notes are here to stay, and while it hurts many of us, this form of communication is becoming increasingly popular among messaging app users. Now it will be more comfortable to listen to them, since we can continue to listen to the voice note even if we change the chat, even if we start writing a message to another person

. This way, it becomes much less tedious to have to listen to a long voice memo. It will take some getting used to.

Focus mode

A few days ago we told you how the different focus modes work on the iPhone, which also syncs with your iPad and Mac, because there are times when you don’t want to be bothered by unwanted WhatsApp, but you don’t want to shut everyone up because there is someone you want to know about

the WhatsApp. Well now you can with these focus modes because WhatsApp is (surprisingly) compatible with this new feature of iOS 15 (but we still don’t have an Apple Watch app). We leave you the video where we explain how the focus modes work to get the most out of them.

profile pictures

With the arrival of iOS 15, notifications have changed, and now they are much richer in information. Messaging apps can now display the profile pictures of those who message us when sending a notification

, and WhatsApp also supports this new feature. This way you can visually identify who is messaging you faster. In case the message comes from a group, the image that will appear will be that of the group, not that of the person who sent it to you.

all these new features are now available in the latest version of the app which is now available on the app store, so to use them, you just need to download it on your iPhone.
