WhatsApp gets new chat feature on Android: Here’s how it will help you

WhatsApp for Android is getting a new update that brings the ability to hear consecutive audio messages without any interruption. The update also pushes the security fix for the CVE-2019-3568 vulnerability that was revealed in a sponsored hack recently by an Israeli cyber-security firm. The WhatsApp for Android version 2.19.150 is now available to download from the Google Play store.

The feature that plays consecutive audio messages without requiring manual interaction was being tested on the beta versions for quite some time. WhatsApp is now finally rolling out the functionality that will omit the need to tap on the play button for every audio message. You will need to tap the play button just once and the audio messages will be played if they have been consecutively sent or received.
