Facebook-owned WhatsApp appears to be working on a new update for the chat platform. As per a recent report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp might soon rollout a ‘Locked Recording’ feature in its next update. As the name suggests, the feature will let users lock on an ongoing voice recording so as to avoid having to long press the record icon.
As per the report, WhatsApp is currently testing the feature on Android beta versions 2.18.70 and 2.18.71. The same feature was made available to the iOS users through an update last year but is yet to debut on Android devices. It is expected that the feature will be rolled out for the Android users in an update by the end of March. Through the feature, WhatsApp users on Android will be able to record voice memos by locking the voice recording icon next to the chat text box, instead of having to press it for the entire duration of the recording.

In addition to the Locked Recordings feature, WhatsApp is also expected to roll out a ‘Preview Recordings’ feature for its Android users. Through this feature, users will be able to preview their voice recordings before sending them across to anyone through the WhatsApp chat. There is no confirmation on the exact date of rollout of this feature though.
