WhatsApp points down the following new options to enhance your experience while voice chatting with others: 

Out of Chat Playback: You can play the voice messages outside the chat, on the WhatsApp home screen, and while messaging others. You’ll see a Global Voice Notes Player with the control banner on the top. Pause/Resume Recording: You can pause and resume a recording whenever you feel like it. It could be for thinking clearly about what you want to convey.  Draft Preview: Before hitting the send button, you can save the voice messages in the draft and listen to them later to ensure they are ready to be sent. Waveform Visualization: While you are listening, the new visual waveform representation helps you follow the recording. Remember Playback: Even if you forgot to note where you left listening previously, you need not worry as WhatsApp remembers it for you, and the next time, it picks up from where you left off. Fast Playback on Forwarded Messages: Also, if you are in a hurry or for any reason want to speed up the playback, you can run the voice messages at 1.5x or 2x speeds. This is available on both regular or forwarded voice notes.

All these new WhatsApp Voice Message Features would be released to the users in the coming users.

Commenting on its new announcement, the company said, “Voice messages have made it quick and easy for people to have more expressive conversations. Showing emotion or excitement through voice is more natural than text, and in many situations, voice messages are the preferred form of communication on WhatsApp. It’s simple for anyone to use - for your family members who prefer to avoid typing, for your friends who love to tell stories, for your peers who need encouraging words, or for when you want to hear your partner's voice at the end of a long day.”

WhatsApp also boasts every day its users sent 7 billion voice messages on the messaging platform.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14

Face unlock easily defeated with photo in over 30 smartphone models

We’ve seen a resurgence in face unlock across the mobile industry, arguably due to Apple’s  iPhone X  touting the technology. Unfortunately, a new study shows that plenty of phones can be defeated with a simple photo. The Dutch  Consumentenbond organization found that out of 110 devices tested, 42 could be unlocked with a high quality photo of the owner (h/t: The Register ). To be fair, the organization counted regional and dual-SIM variants as separate models in its testing, so the real number of dodgy devices is actually in the 30s. Nevertheless, this still represents a massive number of devices that are vulnerable to a simple photo. The list wasn’t restricted to a few manufacturers either, as the likes of Alcatel , BlackBerry , Huawei , Lenovo , Nokia , Sony , and Xiaomi were all featured here. Most of these phones were budget devices, but we also have a few flagships affected by shoddy face unlock. These devices include the HTC U11 Plus , the Huawei P20 Pro , and Sony’s Xper
