13 People Who Will Use WhatsApp’s New Voice Note Status Feature

WhatsApp just rolled out an interesting new feature that allows users to post voice notes as their status on the application. If you haven’t figured out the technicalities, you open the app, go to the status tab, click the pencil icon, and record a 30-second audio before sharing it.

Anyway, here’s who we think will be making use of this new voice note status feature on WhatsApp.

1. Your mom

Was it intended for WhatsApp status? Probably not. But she’ll be happy to receive 20+ messages responding to her inquiry about how to make [insert random food recipe].

2. Your aunt

Will be using this feature to send “keefkon ya jame3a shta2nelkon” messages to everyone.

3. El khodarje

The new boomer friendly podcast, thanks for your non-khodra related voice notes 3ammo Nabih.

4. Online shop owners

“Hi ya sabaya, lyom fi deal ktiiiiiiiir helo eza bteshtro b fo2 l $100 byetla3lkon delivery balesh”

5. The random dentist receptionist you have in your contacts

You can’t delete the contact bc you need to stay in contact with your dentist somehow. You’ll have to deal with the random rants that you have no business hearing.

6. That cousin who thinks they can sing

Is it socially acceptable to block your cousin?

7. Poli Sci experts/analysts

11. Your distant relative’s curious toddler

You want us to believe your 11-month-old knew how to navigate WhatsApp and post a definitely not staged audio of them gurgling?

12. Middle schoolers

13. Your teta

She didn’t even know she was recording a voice note for WhatsApp status bc all you hear is silence with the faint sound of some Turkish soap opera in the background.
