WhatsApp users on iPhones could soon get a new feature that will allow previews of voice messages. This feature is currently under development and there's no word on its official release as yet.

As spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will send push notifications for voice messages along with a preview tool. This means that iPhone users can open the voice message directly from the notification panel. At present, users on iPhones and Android devices need to open the chat to listen to the voice messages.

WhatsApp is also working on a quick media edit shortcut on Android and iOS. As the name suggests, this tool will allow users to quickly edit photos sent on chat. Photos sent on WhatsApp will now have an 'edit' tool in the menu bar on iOS. On Android phones, the edit tool will be available under the shortcuts menu.

Quick media edit like voice recording preview is still not available for beta users. While WhatsApp is testing these features on beta, it cannot be accessed as yet by public beta users. WhatsApp offers beta versions of its app on iOS and Android.
