Whatsapp updates keep coming, and the next one that seems prominent is revamping their calling experience. A new update is being tested in the BETA program, and its labeled version 2.23.17.16 brings significant improvements to the calling interface. The new update will make managing group calls easy and enhance user experience.
WhatsApp Features in BETA
There is a new button that lets you add contacts to ongoing calls. The initial process will interrupt that call before initiating a new one for additional participants. This new feature will enhance the user experience by saving time and creating smoother group conversations.
The update also brings a modal view that shows the call type and highlights the end-to-end encryption, emphasizing the platform’s dedication to user data privacy and security. There is also a scheduled group calling feature that will be available soon.
Whatsapp BETA testers are gradually having access to this new feature, especially those who have installed the latest BETA for Android. The UI will also continue to roll out for more users in the coming weeks. More features are coming, including an AI-generated sticker and the ability to switch between multiple accounts in the future.
