How to disable voice recording in WhatsApp on iPhone

The WhatsApp messenger provides users with the opportunity not only to call friends, but also to record and

send voice messages. It is convenient to use this function when it is not possible to type messages - for example, while driving a car.

However, voice recording has a drawback -the user may accidentally click on the record button, and without any confirmation requests, a voice message will be sent. Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not allow you to remove the record button, but there is a workaround.
