Playing audio files faster than normal can be beneficial in some situations, for example in the case of long files or when several files are grouped with the same theme. In any case, the time spent listening to them will be less.
Function to speed up WhatsApp audios
That is why WhatsApp has implemented in its mobile application and desktop programs a function that can accelerate voice messages at 1.5x and 2x speeds, depending on the needs of the account holder. These are the steps you must follow to use this new WhatsApp feature
How to increase WhatsApp voice message speed
Open WhatsApp and access a conversation from which you have exchanged voice messages.
Click on the play button to listen to the message. In the same window you will be able to verify an icon showing the current playback speed.
To select a different speed, simply click on the icon. All audio notes in the conversation will automatically be heard at this speed.
Note: if you don’t have this feature on your phone yet, please update the WhatsApp app manually. To do this, enter the application store (App Store or Play Store), use the search function to find WhatsApp and tap on Update. And if the problem occurs on the desktop version, try uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp for PC.
