Whatsapp Voice Messages
Whatsapp, a California
based company is the most popular and widely used messenger application. It was
the first to launch the application and has the major share of the market. The
simple framework and the ease of use have made the application a world wide
success. The application boasts of having nearly 300 million active users per
month. The competitors found a new way to curb the growth by introducing the
voice messages. Whatsapp, being proud of having a simple and easy interface,
was finding it tough to stay at the top of the industry.
In order to sustain the market leadership, whatsapp has come
up with the voice messages concept. Since whatsapp has a vast number of users,
the voice messages would only add to the already existing popularity. One of
the major disadvantages, the inability to type messages in the native language
is negated completely with the voice messages. In a country like India , where
the number of languages is very vast, voice messages acts as a boon. The emotions
of the message can also be conveyed with full vigor by the use of the voice
messages.
Features:
Since Whatsapp is not the first to launch in this field, it
has to provide a different set of features to sustain. Some of the features are
- The primary requirement of no time limit is ensured by whatsapp. It does not put any restriction on the voice message time span.
- The inbuilt software allows the message to be played automatically if the headphones are connected and if the phone is near the head of the person.
- An additional significant feature is that the sender can see when the message sent is actually listened to by the receiver.
- The volume of the message is adjusted according the receivers hearing levels.
How to use?
Whatsapp, a famous app for providing a simple interface for
messaging, has come up with a simple method for voice messages as well.
- Smartphones:
The microphone icon in the window
is pressed till the voice message is recorded. Once completed, the release of
the icon will send the message to the recipient. In order to cancel the
message, a simple slide across the screen while recording the message would
cancel it.
- BlackBerry and Nokia phones:
Hold the space button for black
berry and the center button of nokia while recording the message and release it
to send. The cancellation of the message can be done by a meager press of the
end call button.
Whatsapp, the leading contender in messaging applications,
by venturing in to voice messages to have extended their popularity to new
level. The already existing voice messages companies have a tough task ahead
with the entry of Whatsapp.
