Another Trick to Preview WhatsApp Voice Message

  5. You can also send it using the send button if everything sounds right.

Send WhatsApp Voice Message to Yourself

Another way to preview or listen a WhatsApp Voice Message before sending is to start a WhatsApp chat with yourself, and send a voice message. You can play and listen to it, if everything seems good, simply forward it to the person or group you want to send it. The best part is when you forward anything from own chat, it won’t carry the forwarded text above it.

Bonus: Use the Native Recorder App

If you don’t want to pile up the failed voice messages in your WhatsApp chat, it’s better to do enough practice to be on the safer side. One quick way avoid all this, is to record the audio from the native voice recorder app on your phone, listen and send only if it good as per you. Another added benefit in this method, is that you can record audio in advance, or when there’s no internet connectivity, and later send it.
