Now with this WhatsApp feature, users on the desktop version of the app can listen to voice notes while switching to another chat in WhatsApp. It will not stop playing the voice note. At the bottom of the chat list, the new audio player bar will appear along with a playback button that allows users to manage the voice note, and the tracking indicator lets them know when the voice note is completed.

Thanks to this feature you will no longer need to stay in a chat to listen to the whole voice note, no matter how long it is. You must have experienced the frustration during the sudden break in voice note recording while exiting from the chat, but now that is in the past as you will be able to multi-task with this new feature. You can respond to another text, share images, play videos or whatever you want to.
