What Else Do I Need to Know About WhatsApp Voice Messages?
WhatsApp voice messages are very simple to send but it’s useful to know a few things about the process. Here’s a quick overview of what you need to know.
You can send voice messages on both the app and desktop clients. If you’re an avid user of WhatsApp Web, you can still send and receive voice messages through your web browser, providing you have a microphone. There’s no limit on WhatsApp voice message lengths. You can record as long a message as you need with no known time limits. Like with voicemail, it makes sense to be brief but you don’t have to be because of any set limits. You can delete voice messages after they’ve been sent. Like with regular WhatsApp messages, you can long-press on the clip and tap Delete then Delete for everyone or Delete for only me. You can save voice messages. Long-press the voice message and tap email in the Share menu to send the message as an email attachment. The file is saved in the OGG format.
