This May, WhatsApp has also modified the duration of the so-called “voice states.” The WhatsApp statuses allow you to upload a photo, a video, a text or a voice note so that your contacts can see it for 24 hours. Until now, voice notes lasted only 30 seconds, but WhatsApp has recently modified it so that voice statuses last up to a minute.
