In the available preview of the feature released by a source you can see that when you play a voice note from a chat and switch to another conversation the voice note will not stop playing and a new audio player bar will pop up at the bottom left side of your chat list. With the help of this bar now you can control the voice note by using the playback button. With the progress bar indicator you can also understand when the voice note ends.
