WhatsApp is rolling out new features to improve its users' experience. According to recent information, WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature for Android users. This feature will make sending voice messages more easily. According to the information, the company is developing a home screen widget that will allow users to record and send voice notes without opening the WhatsApp app.

The website WABetaInfo shared information about this new WhatsApp feature in its report. They reported that this upcoming feature was spotted in the 2.26.24.2 update of WhatsApp Beta for Android on the Google Play Store. This widget is currently in development and work on it has begun. This feature has not yet reached beta testers, but it gives us an idea of ​​how WhatsApp plans to simplify frequently used features.

The new feature will save time.
A new widget will appear directly on the home screen so that you don't need to open the app to send a voice message. This feature allows users to record their voice by clicking on the widget and then send it. It is expected that this widget will allow sending voice notes to multiple people at the same time. This feature will be especially beneficial for users who send multiple voice messages throughout the day. This feature will save them the need to open WhatsApp, find the chat, and then start recording.

Home Screen Widgets
According to reports, WhatsApp isn't just working on a voice message widget, but it's also working on a dedicated home screen widget for status updates. This will eliminate the need for users to open the app to view status activity or update a new status. You can easily handle these things from the home screen.

No official announcement
The WhatsApp Messages widget is still in development, and the company hasn't made any official announcements yet. There's also no official word on when the new feature will be available to users. It's expected that the feature will first be available to beta testers before being rolled out more broadly.
