Voice messages are one of the most used WhatsApp features. Now WhatsApp users can listen to voice messages that are created before they are sent.
This feature was first discovered by WABetaInfo last May, and is now only being launched after going through a beta trial period. Currently, WhatsApp's voice message preview feature is available on all platforms, including iOS, Android, web, and desktop, as quoted from The Verge, Thursday (16/12/2021).
Before this feature was provided directly by WhatsApp, users had to use third-party applications to listen back to voice messages that were created before they were sent. Once this feature is available, users no longer need to use third-party applications.
How to listen to WhatsApp voice messages before they are sent is actually easy, namely:
Open the WhatsApp application and select the contact or group you want to send a voice message to

Start talking
Once you're done recording your message, tap the stop icon in the shape of a red square inside a circle
Tap the triangular play icon to listen to the recorded sound again. You can also tap a specific part of the voicemail to listen to it again
