One of the great changes that we have experienced in the last year with WhatsApp is the inclusion of a control that allows us to speed up playback a voice memo so it takes less time to hear it. It is a perfect function for those cases in which we have a friend who does not send us small recorded phrases, but rather whole podcasts of many minutes.

And although that control is very easy to activate because it appears in the form of a button that, when touched, changes speed, It has gone unnoticed that this function is not available when we forward that same content to another chat. Even if we want to retrieve a message sent weeks ago so that the person in the chat can hear it again.

There will be speed control on forwarded

It’s curious, but it’s like that: only the original voice memo allows speed control in playback, but not any of the versions that we forward in other chats and groups. So from WhatsApp they have taken note of this limitation and it seems that they are running to correct it, in such a way that we could soon have an update in the iOS and Android versions in this regard.

Speed ​​control in audio messages.

It was WABetaInfo that reported that is coming to the beta versions of iOS and Android, specifically at 2.21.90.11 and 2.21.9.10, respectively, this speed control in all the voice notes that we share, even if it is within the same chat where we send it for the first time, as you can see by the screenshot that you have just above.

In that image you can see how the original voice note, but above all the one forwarded just below by the other person in the conversation, you already have speed control playback, to listen (in this case) that little audio at 2x. We have done the test with the releases available right now in official stores and it is true that these forwarded audios lose the ability to be heard at other speeds.

And it is that as they remind us from WABetAInfo, “when forwarding a voice memo, you can’t speed up the audio because the playback speed button is not available, but there will be a new function at a later date. “At the moment there is no set time for the arrival of this improvement that, as we say, has gone completely unnoticed. Maybe because voice memos not something that gets forwarded very often?
