WhatsApp: Voice message too quiet - you can do that

Too quiet voice messages in WhatsApp are a common annoyance. We show you in our practical tip what you can do about it.

Voice message in WhatsApp too quiet? It can be because:

• Sometimes the media volume is set too low. Try increasing the volume during playback.
• The microphone may have been covered during the recording. Try to handle the phone differently and make sure your smartphone case doesn't cover the microphone hole.
• With some smartphones, you can adjust the microphone sensitivity. Try changing this setting.
• If your smartphone has noise reduction, you can try disabling it. In some cases, this feature can cause problems.
• Hold your smartphone to your ear during playback. The sound then comes from the upper speaker and may be easier to understand.
