As we’ve seen earlier, WhatsApp is testing a variable playback speed option for its audio messages, which allows users to play their audio messages on two levels of speeds. These are speeding from 1x to 1.5x and 2x. This feature is currently embedded in the WhatsApp beta v2.21.6.11, and may soon arrive in the stable build.
WhatsApp Variable Playback Speed
Though WhatsApp is accused of launching new features slowly, it at least does them at the right time after several testing phases. The world’s largest instant messenger is now gearing up to roll out a feature that will let users change the playback speed of audio messages in their chats, and be quicker.
