One of the more popular universal messaging apps out there, WhatsApp,
was recently updated with a new ability for iPhone users: the ability to
exchange voice messages via push-to-talk. The best part about it is
that the message can be received and responded to by any WhatsApp user.
It doesn’t matter if they are on Android, BlackBerry, Nokia or a Windows
Phone. Users just need to tap a button and begin speaking for it to
work. You just “push to talk” and record your message’ Once you release
the Microsoft button, the message is automatically sent. You can slide
left and delete it as well.
As of right now, messages can theoretically be of an infinite length and
when they are played, a blue microphone icon Is shown to inform you
that your message has been listened to (or in some cases point out that
you are being ignored). It’s still a cool feature that is found on some
messaging apps but still not included as part of Apple’s iMessage.
