As he has done in recent years, WhatsApp Will meet another recurring demand of users. Several requests were sent to the platform, asking to be able to hear the audio of the conversation when another window was opened. That is, you will be able to listen to those endless audios without getting stuck in a chat with a particular contact.

For now, the novelty is available in the testing phase for iOS users. In the beta version it is already possible to play voice messages and audio files even if the chat is not open. In other words, users can continue listening to the audio of one conversation while taking a look at another.
To use the new feature, your iPhone must be updated to version 22.4.75. As the implementation is recent, it is advisable to check your operating system version to ensure proper functionality.
WhatsApp has consistently invested in audio implementation
Some time back, WhatsApp released the possibility to pause audio recording during message. Similarly, you can listen to what was said before sending the file to the recipient. So with this further update, the app continues to implement many new audio and user experience improvements. The layout of audio files has also been changed recently.
It is worth noting that the latest update of WhatsApp for iOS also brought another interesting innovation. Now, whenever a notification arrives, the sender’s profile picture appears on the lock screen of the iPhone. Although this function already exists in other competing applications, it is a novelty within most popular messengers.
More news on the way
The platform is also working to implement a message response system. For example, in the near future, users will be able to use the tool in the same way as on Instagram. Previous tests have already taken place, but now it seems that the novelty is in the final stages of development. Also, this feature will be available for both Android and iOS users.
Apart from these, there are many other changes which are being tested within the platform. WhatsApp has taken a lot of steps to become a more immersive app and in line with user experience best practices.
