WhatsApp is reportedly developing a new Android home screen widget that could allow users to record and send voice messages without opening the app. Spotted in WhatsApp beta for Android 2.26.24.2, the feature is still under development and unavailable to testers. Users may be able to record a voice note from the home screen, send it to multiple recipients, and even use it as a status update. The development follows WhatsApp's ongoing work on another home screen widget for status updates.
