Whenever you receive an audio message and don’t want to play it through your speakers, here’s what you must do:
Simply tap the Play button on the message, then immediately hold your phone up to your ear.
WhatsApp will intelligently detect that your phone is up against your head, and switch to playing the message through your phone’s earpiece (like a call) instead of your speaker. It will even start the message from the beginning so you don’t miss any of it.
This means that you no longer need to worry about being in private before you open a WhatsApp audio message. And if your phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, you don’t have to connect your Bluetooth headphones just to listen to your message.
Here’s another quick WhatsApp audio tip
When you’re recording an audio message (by holding the Send button), slide up to lock the app in recording mode. This lets you continue recording without holding the button on your phone, useful for when you’re walking or otherwise occupied.
Do try these simple tricks and let us know how these worked for you.
