New Feature In WhatsApp: You Can Mute The Mic And Turn Off The Camera Before Answering A Call WhatsApp is set to bring three new features for Android users related to audio and video calls. According to WABetaInfo, these new features are already available in WhatsApp’s Android beta version 2.25.10.16.
Under this, a mute button has been added for voice calls. This allows users to mute the microphone from the notification panel and pick up the call. This feature is expected to be especially useful in noisy places.
This feature is said to be useful for users who need a few seconds to get ready in front of the camera or who do not want to appear on camera. On the other hand, this feature can be useful for privacy when receiving calls from unknown numbers.
Under the third feature, emoji reactions have been added for video calls. This feature allows participants in a video call to react with emojis in real time.
These features are currently available for some beta tests of Android. It is said to be available to everyone in a few weeks.
