WhatsApp is testing a Beta feature to speed up the playback of voice messages

WhatsApp is working to provide three levels of audio playback speed for voice messages at 1x, 1.5x and 2x, which will be released in the near future.
Some WhatsApp users have gotten the ability to listen back to voice messages at different rates. This feature has been activated on the beta for Android Beta 2.21.9.4.

WhatsApp is testing a Beta feature to speed up the playback of voice messages After a short activation, WhatsApp released a new version of Android beta 2.21.9.5 to disable this feature. This is arguably another surprise, because WhatsApp typically tests features for a few months before rolling out to public beta testers. This could be a buggy update from WhatsApp and has been quickly fixed. The interface for this version of WhatsApp has also been changed to better accommodate the new features. An icon appears right next to the voice message to perform accelerated operations that the user wants to hear again. In addition to playback acceleration, another feature also tested by WhatsApp is the ability to delete or make changes to a chat on just one active device without affecting any linked devices other. That is, changes or deletion of any chats through one handset will not be deleted from other linked devices. This is quite confusing because often performing a delete or change operation means that the content the user will not want to save on any device. If this feature is kept by WhatsApp, users will have to delete the chats multiple times on multiple devices. This feature is in line with what WhatsApp introduced previously, which is that each account can be importing up to 4 devices at the same time. However, the log out of all these devices is said to be in development, users still have to go to each device to remove the WhatsApp account. The new features that WhatsApp has introduced well for users to try out may see that it may be coming to many people soon.
