The application has simplified interaction and engagement with family and friends. Today, group voice calls are one of the most popular features of WhatsApp. Now, the platform comes with several interesting upgrades to this feature.
While the platform has already announced several improvements, it now brings three exciting updates for group voice calls. These new features will enhance the group call experience for millions of users.
Banner notification for new joiners
This feature can come in handy for users as it will display a banner notification whenever a new user joins the call. The banner notification will read ‘X joined the call’. This will let users know who is joining the call other than the existing participants and when.
Mute others on a group voice call
With this feature, users can mute others on group voice calls. This can come in handy when the call is interrupted by background noise.
Sending messages to participants during a group call
Now, users will be able to send messages to other participants while continuing with the group call. If they want to quickly send a message to just one person in the group, they can do so without interruption without missing the ongoing conversation.
While these features can make group voice calls more efficient, there are other ways to enhance your chatting experience on WhatsApp.
