How many times have we wondered how to listen to WhatsApp audio without opening it ? The fact that the blue read confirmation ticks cannot be deactivated for WhatsApp audio notes is an inconvenience, since many times we cannot -or do not want- to reply ipso facto when someone sends them to us.
To go unnoticed, there are two methods that we can follow , although first we will have to activate the Airplane Mode of our phone so that the blue ticks are not activated when opening the window in question. Once activated, we can forward the audio by keeping it pressed and then pressing the arrow to the right that we will find in the upper menu bar. We can forward the audio to a trusted contact or, even more recommended, to a group in which we are alone, so you can listen to it without the other person knowing.
The other option available is to enter the browser of our device. If we access WhatsApp -> Media -> WhatsApp Voice Notes, we will find all the audio notes we have received ordered by date. WhatsApp audios are stored in .opus format , so we will have to have a compatible player on our mobile to be able to listen to it. The VLC player is the most popular option in these cases.
HOW TO KNOW IF THEY HAVE HEARD A WHATSAPP AUDIO
On the other hand, the sender may also be interested in how to know if they have listened to a WhatsApp audio , especially if the message in question is urgent enough to want an immediate response. When sending an audio, we have to select it by keeping our finger pressed.
Next, we click on the icon with three points that we find in the upper right part of our screen and select ‘Info.’. WhatsApp will tell us what state the audio is in . As soon as it is sent, the information will appear in ‘Delivered’, but in the ‘Seen’ and ‘Reproduced’ sections it will not tell us anything. If the receiver has opened our audio, it will tell us how many minutes ago it has been done.
WHY ARE THERE WHATSAPP AUDIOS WITHOUT A BLUE TICK?
With so much proliferation of audios, it is normal for us to wonder why there are WhatsApp audios without a blue tick . This may be due to multiple factors, such as the tricks that we have explained before to be able to listen to audio without the receiver knowing about it, preventing confirmation from being activated.
Other reasons why your audios may not appear in blue are based on the version of WhatsApp that the recipient has (in some it was allowed to disable the blue tick even for audios), or even that they are using the WhatsApp Plus APK . You may also not see the blue tick when sending an audio to a group, as it won’t activate until all members of the group have read it.
APPS TO LISTEN TO WHATSAPP AUDIO
As we specified before, the voice notes are saved on our mobile in the .opus format, so we will need to use apps to listen to WhatsApp audios in the event that we do not want the person who sent it to us to see the blue ticks . The first and most common is to have the VLC player , compatible with this format, but it is not the only one.
In both Google Play and the App Store we can find Opus Player , a specific application for this type of file that can help us listen to audio in a sibylline way . Unseen App is another application that will allow us to go unnoticed in this sense, and it is also compatible with many other social network applications (Facebook Messenger, Instagram, VK, etc.).
