Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday that an average of 7 billion voice messages are being sent every day via WhatsApp.

WhatsApp also introduced a host of new features that can be applied to any of those 7 billion voice messages:

  • Out of Chat Playback: People can listen to a voice message outside of the chat so that they can multitask or read and respond to other messages.
  • Pause/Resume Recording: When recording a voice message, users can now pause the recording and resume when ready, in case they are interrupted or need to gather their thoughts.
