WhatsApp allows its users to send voice notes other than the normal text messages. The voice messaging feature was launched in 2013 and you can find a speaker/mic like icon beside the messaging box to record and send voice messages. It can be known that voice messages are quick and easy to send and are protected by end-to-end encryption to keep them private and secure at all times. And now voice messages have made it quick and easy for people to have more expressive conversations. Wondering how? Check the details below.
