Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp is working on a new feature. According to reports, the company may soon allow users to share voice notes on status. Currently, users can only share images, text and videos on their WhatsApp status. According to a report by WaBetaInfo, the company will now allow you to share voice notes in your status updates.

According to the report, WhatsApp is currently working on this feature. The company has been seen working on a feature for iOS users. WABetaInfo has also shared a screenshot of the feature’s interface. Looking at the image, it can be said that WhatsApp users can share voice notes of up to 30 seconds on their status.

When users do not enter any text in this section, users will see a microphone icon similar to WhatsApp chat. Users will be able to share their voice status updates only with those they have chosen to share the status with. Users can go to Privacy and select the people they want to show their status to.

The report states that voice notes shared in WhatsApp status updates will be end-to-end encrypted. The upcoming WhatsApp feature will not only be available for iOS users but also for Android users. Voice note share feature for status updates will be available in future updates.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a screen lock feature that will ask for a password whenever a user opens the app. This will provide additional security to WhatsApp and protect it from unauthorized access when users are not using their device. According to a report by WaBetaInfo, the feature is currently in development and is expected to be released to some beta testers in the future.
