The global audio player is getting closer and closer to the stable version release

After introducing it a couple of weeks ago, with the 2.22.7.11 Of WhatsApp Beta being pushed to a limited number of beta testers, the WhatsApp development team has initiated the gradual release of the global audio player to all beta testers of their messaging app.

As evidence of this, as reported by the specialized portal WaBetaInfo the new player also appeared in the Beta version of WhatsApp Business, and it would seem available to anyone running WhatsApp Beta 2.22.8.7 or WhatsApp Beta 2.22.8.8 (or Business counterparts), versions marked as compatible with the new functionality.

The news, as always in these cases, is being released gradually on the server-side and not everyone could receive it at the same time. The fact that it has been extended to many more beta testers is undoubtedly an important step towards the release of the global audio player in the stable version of WhatsApp, which could already happen in the next few weeks.
