WhatsApp testing new features for audio and video calls | Infinium-tech
WhatsApp has started testing new audio and video call options for its Android users. It comes from revelation HobbWho watched these features in WhatsApp for the beta version 2.25.10.16 of Android.
The first is a muted button for an upcoming voice call. This appears in the notification panel and allows users to respond to the call when muted the microphone. We are not sure how it will really be useful. In the noise environment, perhaps? In the comments below, tell us how you will use this feature.
The second facility is for upcoming video calls. This allows you to turn off the camera before answering the video call. It is useful for users who require a few seconds to get ready before appearing in front of the camera or do not want to appear on the camera at first. It also adds a layer of privacy when receiving the call from unknown numbers as you will not appear on the screen immediately after answering the video call.
The third feature is emoji reactions for video calls. This will allow participants to react with emoji in real time in video calls.
These features are available to some of WhatsApp beta testers for Android and will expand to more users in the coming weeks.
