Genius WhatsApp update makes voice notes WAY better – how to use new trick
WHATSAPP voice notes are an easy way to message when you don’t feel like typing but their one big flaw is you can’t easily listen back to them.
This could all about to change though as WhatsApp is expected to release a listen-back voice note feature in a future update.

You can start recording and once you’re done, instantly click the back button to take you out of the chat and back to the WhatsApp main page.
Once you go back into the chat your audio should be waiting for you to play.
