WhatsApp keep adding tools. The messaging ‘app’ owned by Meta has introduced new features for group chats, including an option to mute other contacts during a voice call in a group chat.

With this tool, the platform aims to offer greater fluidity and simplicity when intervening in voice conversations with various contacts. This functionality can be combined with another of the tools that this new package has introduced: the possibility of send text messages to specific people in the group during the voice call.

That way, if one of your contacts hasn’t realized you’re still on the call, other users will be able to alert you and mute this other contact’s microphone themselves; an option that this manager has defined as “excellent if someone forgets to silence himself”.

With this update a new format has also been introduced for notify contacts in a group chat that another user has joined to the video call and has not appeared in the application interface. Until now, only the first six contacts of a group conversation to join a call appeared on the screen, so that new members were left in the background and their entry into the chat was not noticed.

Now, moreover, send notifications when users join a group voice call, via the message ‘X has joined the call’, which is reflected at the bottom of the screen.
