How it works?
All you need to do is update WhatsApp to 2.19.91.1 beta version from TestFlight. WhatsApp Business beta for iOS 2.19.90.8 is also eligible to get audio playback tifications support remotely. If you still don't see this feature working for you, you can reinstall app. However, ensure that you have a backup of your chat history. This way, you will t lose any of your WhatsApp messs. To see if this feature is enabled for you, you can ask someone in your contact to send you an audio mess. Once you receive mess, see if you can play audio clip in tifications. For w, we don't kw if users can also reply to those messs. More details awaited as to how this is going to work.
