JAKARTA - Usually, WhatsApp users can directly send an audio message via an icon in the lower left corner of the screen, right in the row of views when the user wants to type the message.

However, Wabetainfo announced new things about the appearance of this icon. Reportedly, WhatsApp is adding an instant video message icon in the audio message section. When users tap on the audio icon, they will be asked to choose between audio and video messages.

WhatsApp intentionally added this menu to prevent accidental sending of audio messages. In addition, users have greater control in communicating.

In addition to providing audio and video messages in one place, WhatsApp will also add View Once mode on voice messages. The number one icon will appear in the chat view when View Once mode is active.

If users often see View Once mode when sending videos and images, the new feature in this audio message is familiar. How to use the View Once feature is the same.

By turning on the View Once mode, users can prevent accidental sending of voice messages. The reason is, the second party who hears can only play once without saving it.

All of these updates will be available on Android and iOS, but WhatsApp is still doing trials to date. Therefore, it is not known when all these updates will arrive on WhatsApp users' phones.
