Group calls become more convenient and complete on WhatsApp thanks to these three new features. It will be possible to cut off a speaker who is too noisy, to see more clearly who is joining a call in progress and to speak to a single person during a group call.
WhatsApp regularly brings new features to its platform, and the year 2022 is synonymous with generosity for the messaging app. Indeed, the subsidiary of Meta has launched several highly anticipated new features such as sending 2 GB files, reactions to messages, and the ability to make group calls with up to 32 participants.
And while other new features are expected later in the year, such as polls in group conversations, WhatsApp today adds three new features on group calls to make them even more convenient.

The first novelty is the possibility of mute the microphone of an interlocutor who makes too much background noise that interferes with the discussion or who talks too much. This will facilitate exchanges between participants, especially if the call brings together many participants and it is difficult to hear and understand everyone.
WhatsApp will also send notifications when a new user joins an ongoing call. This banner will contain the name of the interlocutor for better visibility, which will be very useful when it is impossible to see the names of all the participants on the screen.
Finally, the third new feature will allow participants of a group call tosend a private message to only one other participant from a call. Useful when you want to say something to one person privately, without the others knowing. To do this, simply click on their name during a call, then select ” Send a message “.
WhatsApp is putting a lot of emphasis on groups right now, and is also working on a feature that allows users to quietly leave a group chat. The messaging application also allows you to transfer your data from Android to an iPhone.
