WhatsApp trick totally changes how you listen to voice notes – and lets you listen in secret

DID you know that you don’t have to blast out WhatsApp voice notes for all to hear?

Without headphones, most of us find ourselves putting the volume low and holding the bottom of our phones to one ear, which is hardly practical.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

There’s actually a really easy hack that allows you to listen to WhatsApp voice notes without all the faff.

Next time you receive one and want to play it out, simply hold your phone to your ear as if you were taking a call.

The audio will then come out of the usual phone speaker instead.

This not only means you can keep voice notes secret from eavesdroppers, but also hear things a lot better in crowded places.

WhatsApp has actually made a lot of changes to voice notes recently.

The biggest is the ability to listen to voice notes while doing other things in WhatsApp.

It’s great for multitasking, especially with long voice notes, so you can read other messages as you listen.

The other recent update lets you change the speed of voice notes.

It’s particularly useful if you have a mate who speaks too slow – and goes on a bit.

The speed can be ramped up by 1.5x and 2x.

Developers are constantly working on new ideas.

We recently learnt that a special code to stop scammers could soon arrive.
