If you find it takes a long time to listen to long voice notes on WhatsApp, it can now be done in just a few minutes. WhatsApp allows users to listen to voice messages at 1.5x and 2x speed, making it faster to listen to longer audio messages.

How to increase the speed of Voice Note?

To change the playback speed of any voice note in WhatsApp, follow these simple steps:

Open WhatsApp and go to the chat containing the voice note.
Tap the Play button to play the voice note.
While the audio is playing, tap the 1x button that appears next to it.
The first tap will increase the speed to 1.5x.
Tapping again will increase the speed to 2x.
Tapping once more will return the playback speed to 1x (normal).

When is 1.5x and 2x speed beneficial?

Listen to long voice messages in a short amount of time.
Quickly listen to multiple voice notes in a group chat.

Does the sound quality change?

WhatsApp's fast playback feature is designed to ensure that audio remains understandable despite the increased speed. However, some people may find the audio at 2x speed too loud, so you can choose 1.5x or 2x depending on your needs.
