As is already the case for images and videos sent in ephemeral mode, audio cannot be saved, forwarded or captured via screen recording. One step further in terms of privacy.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp recently announced the introduction of official account chat for all users. This will allow users to receive updates on the latest app news and usage tips. A feature already known to those who usually use Telegram. Official Account Chat has been officially released for a group of users in the United States. It should also arrive in Europe in the coming weeks.
