According to WABetaInfo’s report, Android users with the latest beta version could get the access of special feature, rolling out by Meta, that allows sharing voice messages with Meta AI on WhatsApp.

In the latest beta version, Voice message button has been added next to the text field in the chat box by WhatsApp for Meta AI.
