Users will have control over the voice recordings they create thanks to the app’s capability to delete a recording before making it public.
The play pause process might not be as hassle-free as WhatsApp’s standard chat feature. If there will be an edit or replay option in the voice status feature is not yet known. We ought to be able to understand this better as more users have access to the feature.
However, there is a time limit on this feature as well. Only 30 seconds at a time can be spent recording a voice note.
