After releasing the global voice note player for WhatsApp web/desktop and iOS, the Meta-owned messaging company is finally making the feature available for Android users as well, WABetainfo reported.

So what is special about this feature?

Formerly, a voice note stopped when users switched to a different chat on WhatsApp. But now, the users will be able WhatsApp to switch between different chats within the application to send or view another message while a voice note is playing in the background.

"To discover if the feature is available for your WhatsApp account, just play a voice message and go back to your chats list: if you see a new player bar, it means the feature is enabled," the WhatsApp news tracker explains.

Moreover, the feature is not limited to voice notes only, but it will work for the incoming and outgoing audio files too.

However, the feature has been rolled out for certain beta testers so if anyone does not see the feature enabled on their Android version, it means they have not received the update yet.
