A a company spokesperson told CNET ,“Today, we’re proud to announce that WhatsApp has surpassed 300 million monthly active users worldwide, a milestone on the road to WhatsApp becoming the communication network of the 21st century.”
As far as the new Voice Message service is concerned, WhatsApp’s team wrote on a blog post,
We are releasing Voice Messages on all of our platforms simultaneously. We worked very hard to make sure that iPhone and Android devices have perfectly working Voice Messages functionality, and we put extra effort into making sure that BlackBerry, Nokia and Windows Phone users can enjoy the same rich and powerful Voice Messaging experience.
So how exactly does the service work? For Android, iPhone and Windows Phone 8 devices, users will now see a microphone icon next to the box where they type messages. Just press and hold the icon to record till the end of your message.
Once you release the icon, the voice message will automatically be sent to the recipient. To cancel a recording, just slide your hand across the microphone icon and it will be cancelled.
