The option to send voice messages was already a part of the Whatsapp software but the developers have made the option more clear in a recent update. Through voice messaging you can record a spoken message and send this to a contact or a group. In the chat window an option will appear to play the sample.
If a contact has listened to the voice message the microphone in the message will turn blue.
