FAQs

1. Can I listen to a voice note before sending it?
Yes. When using hands-free recording, you can stop the recording and preview it before deciding whether to send or delete it.

2. What happens if I accidentally release the microphone while recording?
The voice note is sent immediately when you release the microphone during quick recording. If you want to review a recording before sending it, use the hands-free recording option instead.
