WhatsApp voice note ‘Review’ feature leaked: Here's how it works

According to WABetaInfo, the company will add a new “Review” button for users to listen in and verify that the voice note contains only the intended content, before the voice note is sent. If there is something wrong with the voice note or there was a disturbance, you can simply discard it and repeat the process of recording and reviewing it all over again. WABetaInfo says there’s no official release date for the feature, but that it should arrive for both iOS and Android when it is ready.

While users can currently check their voice notes on WhatsApp for both iOS and Android using a quick workaround – start recording a voice note and swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go to the recent task switcher when you want to stop recording. When you go back to your chat, you should have a preview of your voice note waiting for you. However, this is not reliable and an official review option is more reliable and we are looking forward to seeing it released in the future.
