WhatsApp recently announced a new audio picker feature having the possibility to play audio before sending it and to select more audio files to send.  The new feature comes as part of the 2.19.89 beta update of the instant messaging app, according to WABetaInfo this week.

WhatsApp is testing the Forwarding Info and Frequently Forwarded Message feature that would let its over 1.5 billion users know how many times a message has been forwarded، which could raise questions on its authenticity.

The app is already working on the much-awaited iPad support that is being tested with features including Touch ID support, split-screen and landscape mode. Also, it has introduced its "audio picker" with a new user interface ''UI'' allowing users to choose a total of 30 audio files to send at once.

Meanwhile, the firm has been testing and introducing a plethora of new features on its platform especially, concerning app support on more devices and checking the spread of misinformation.

The instant messaging platform is also working on a feature that would add the ability to block ‘Frequently Forwarded’ messages in group chats.
