How to Listen to WhatsApp Audio Messages in Secret
One of WhatsApp’s most used features is the audio messages. Many people are increasingly sending each other audio messages rather than traditional texts. Recording and sending audio messages is faster and convenient especially when you are engaged in other activities.
To listen to the audio messages that have been sent to you, just tap the play button next to the message and the audio message will play through your phone’s speaker. However, you may receive an audio message that you wish to listen to secretly.
If you don’t have your earphones with you, listening to your audio messages in secret may be difficult. Not to worry though, this piece discusses other ways that you could listen to your audio messages in secret.
