WhatsApp to Allow Users to Send Voice Notes Without Holding Record Button

WhatsApp is undoubtedly the world's most popular instant messaging app. The app provides a great user interface and amazing functionality, but the UI has certain flaws. One of the most prominent defects that users have faced for years is how WhatsApp handles voice memos. WhatsApp currently needs to hold down the microphone button until you send a voice recording. This is not a problem for a long voice note, but it can be a hassle to keep pressing the button while sending a long voice note. Thankfully, WhatsApp tries to change it all.

As reported by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is working on a new implementation of recording voice memos that can be navigated within chats when recording voice notes without pressing the microphone button. When you start recording a voice note, WhatsApp automatically displays a new UI for the microphone button after 0.5 seconds. Just swipe your finger to "lock" your voice memo. See the GIF below for a better understanding.
