WHATSAPP voice notes are an easy way to message when you don’t feel like typing but their one big flaw is you can’t easily listen back to them.
WhatsApp is set to add a listen-back feature to voice notes in a future update.

According to an article from Marca, the update is “likely to come very soon”.
Users will now be able to record a voice message and then have the option either to delete, send, or listen back.
This feature is not yet available.
You can stop voice messages from being sent immediately if you don’t want to wait.
How to listen back to WhatsApp voice notes
First, you need to open the relevant WhatsApp chat and click the microphone symbol in the bottom right corner.
Slide it up until the lock symbol appears.
You can now tape longer messages without having to press the record button.
Start recording. Once you’re done, click on the back button to exit the chat and return to the WhatsApp main site.
After you’ve finished recording, your audio should be available for you to play once you return to the chat.
Click the play button to listen back.
Recording a voice message the normal way will send your message immediately after you press the record button.
If you do send a WhatsApp message or voice note and instantly regret it you should quickly hold the message down and click “Delete for Everyone”.
