Part 3: Can I convert WhatsApp audio to MP3?

Once you are done with the how-to download WhatsApp audio message part, you can convert that audio file to MP3. Why do you even need to do that? Here are the two most compelling reasons:

  1. File size: WhatsApp audio files can be too heavy on your phone memory (both Android and iOS). MP3 conversion can make the file size smaller without compromising the audio quality.
  2. Compatibility issues: The MP3 audio format is the most compatible and allows users to listen to their saved WhatsApp audio files on any device and player.

Now that you know the reasons for conversion, you must know that the WhatsApp audio file is usually saved in opus format. To convert it to MP3 format, you can opt for one of these two methods.

Method 1: Using apps

Conversion apps can be downloaded from the Play Store and App Store, whether you are an Android or iOS user.

Step 1: Download Opus to MP3 converter

Open your app store (iOS) or Play Store (Android) and search for an opus to MP3 converter. Several apps will appear. Select and install the one that seems most reliable and has attractive ratings.

Step 2: Open the installed app

Open the installed Opus to MP3 converter app on your device. You will see the option to open the file you want to convert. Tap on that option.

Step 3: Start conversion

Select the desired saved audio file on your Android or iOS device. A new menu will appear, asking for the desired format. Choose MP3, and your audio file will be converted from opus to MP3 format.

Method 2: Using online converters

Online converters are another source for converting WhatsApp audio files to MP3 format. The same procedure can be followed for Android and iOS devices.

Step 1: Open an online audio converter

Step 2: Choose the MP3 conversion format

Once you have opened the converter, tap on open file and choose the desired WhatsApp audio saved on your Android or iOS device. After selecting, choose the conversion format, such as MP3, and the quality of sound you like.

Step 3: Convert the WhatsApp audio

After carefully choosing all options, tap on convert, and your WhatsApp audio file will be in MP3 format.
