WhatsApp: new features for group calls

WhatsApp has gotten a lot of new features lately. This makes the messenger more competitive and better and better. This time, WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart personally announced the innovations on Twitter.

There are new features for group calls on WhatsApp:

The number of people who can participate in a WhatsApp group call has recently increased significantly. However, this means that there is a risk that not all participants will follow the basic rules, such as muting when not speaking. This is exactly the problem WhatsApp is addressing with the new functions. You can now turn off the microphone of certain people yourself. So if a participant makes no move to turn off the microphone and this is not part of the conversation, but only produces noise, you can take action yourself.

In addition, WhatsApp has also integrated the function that you can write to certain people during a group call, for example, to tell them to turn off their microphone. Or exchange other messages that are relevant to the call. In addition, WhatsApp now informs all participants in the group call that a new person has joined. A small window with the name is displayed. So everyone knows that this person is now also on the call.

From Android phones to iPhones, that's been impossible for years - until now. WhatsApp finally allows to switch from Android to iPhone . You can simply take your data with you and access all content on your new iPhone.
