Tweeps react as new WhatsApp voice status hits Nigeria

Nigerian social media users have taken to the microblogging platform, Twitter to react to the latest feature from WhatsApp.

The new feature debuted audio status which allows users to record and share voice messages of up to 30 seconds as status updates.

This can be done touching the microphone icon on the status screen, users will be able to capture voice notes. It adds a more personal touch to status updates and serves as a practical alternative for individuals who do not like to type or utilize graphics.

WhatsApp tested its voice status feature with Android and iOS beta testers last month.

Voice status arrives months after WhatsApp experienced considerable growth in voice messaging on its platform. In March, the Meta-owned messaging app stated that its users sent an average of 7 billion audio messages per day.
