According to WABetainfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp updates, the feature enables users to listen to voice notes while switching to a different conversation.

As you start playing a voice note, the playback doesn’t stop when you switch to a different chat.

The voice note will continue playing in the background. As you move out of the chat while the voice note is playing a small media player will appear at the bottom, showing a progress bar and a playback button.
