WhatsApp to release new playback speed control for audio messages on iOS

WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp is working on an improved version of the playback speed feature. In an upcoming update, the company will introduce a new playback speed button for audio messages. Currently, users can only increase the speed of voice notes sent or received, not of forwarded audio messages. Recently, the company released end-to-end encryption support for saved chats on iCloud.
