WhatsApp is releasing an update that brings support to adjust playback speed on voice messages. The new experience comes to Android and iPhone users as well as WhatsApp Web and desktop clients.
Allows you to increase the playback speed of voice messages by up to 2x using native controls. In addition to the updates, WhatsApp has introduced a new sticker pack called “Laugh It Off!” on Android and iPhone devices. The sticker pack includes 28 animated stickers to choose from.
Users on WhatsApp for Android version 2.21.9.15 or WhatsApp for iPhone version 2.21.100 get a playback conversion that allows switching from 1x to 1.5x and 2x. The toggle is located next to the voice search bar and can change the playback speed of voice messages when checked.
In addition to Android and iPhone users, WhatsApp has brought playback speed of voice messaging to its Web and desktop customers – as first reported by WABetaInfo. The new feature is available on WhatsApp Web and desktop version 2.119.6.
The updated WhatsApps for iPhone also enables groups to display an “@” sign in a chat list when someone says or responds to your message.

WhatsApps also added “Laugh It Off!” Sticker pack for both Android and iPhone users. Contains animated stickers that you can use to respond to funny messages.
The sticker pack may take a while to appear in your WhatsApps account. However, you can manually bring it next to your existing stickers using its in-depth link, as reported by WABetaInfo.
Earlier this month, WhatsApp was seen reviewing sticker recommendations on its Android and iOS apps to suggest stickers to users based on the text they typed. The feature was initially not limited to traditional WhatsApp sticker collections. It may grow slowly and may be available for foreign company sticker packs, however.
