What is WhatsApp’s New Voice Chat Feature?

WhatsApp is continually working on new features to provide a better experience to users. Recently, the instant messaging platform is working on a new feature known as Voice Chats.

The feature is available for Android beta testers and was spotted by WABetaInfo, which updates on the latest upcoming WhatsApp features.

This new feature will allow users to join voice chat at any time. This feature has been available on platforms such as Telegram and Discord. This feature is different from making a call in a group chat.

WABetaInfo mentions: “As shown in the attached screenshot, a new voice waveform icon may be seen within a group chat in case the feature is enabled for the account and supported by the group.”

“By tapping this icon, voice chat will automatically start and a dedicated interface will appear. Anyone in the group chat can join the voice chat at any time and start talking. If the voice chat remains empty, it will automatically end after 60 minutes if no one joins. However, anyone can start another voice chat at any time.” Add.

Additionally, this feature could be available for certain groups, WABetaInfo reports. The platform mentions that group chats with more than 32 participants will have this feature and only 32 participants will be able to join the voice chat.

“It is important to note that only certain groups can access voice chats. Generally, they can be available in groups with more than 32 participants (although only up to 32 participants could join a voice chat).” mentions WABetaInfo.

The main advantage of this feature is that it allows users to start a group voice chat without interrupting the participants. But each member will still receive a silent push notification every time a voice chat is started.

If you start a voice chat and no one joins within 60 minutes, the voice chat will automatically end. This feature can be accessed by installing the latest beta version of WhatsApp on Android devices. It will be rolled out to more users in the coming weeks, WABetaInfo confirms.
