WhatsApp testing Android home screen widget for voice messages
Technology
WhatsApp is making it even easier to send voice notes.
Soon, you'll be able to record and send voice messages right from your Android home screen; no need to open the app.
This new widget, spotted in the latest beta update, will let you tap to record and pick who gets your message in just a couple of steps.
WhatsApp developing status widget, web calls
The widget may also support sending voice notes to multiple contacts at once or sharing them as status updates.
Plus, WhatsApp is developing a separate home screen widget for status updates and letting users join group calls on WhatsApp Web with up to 32 people, including screen sharing for those long catch-ups or study sessions.
