WhatsApp rolls out group call shortcut to iOS app

WhatsApp rolls out group call shortcut to iOS app

With the official 2.18.110 update on the App Store, WhatsApp has remotely enabled the new group call shortcut.

Interestingly, their is a limitation. Only four people can engage in a group call which means that you can only add three more people to the group conversation. You can also add a person who is using an Android device, even though the Google-owned OS is yet to receive this functionality. As per a separate tweet, the feature is being rolled out to Android beta users and even there, the OS is lagging behind. Some of the beta testers haven’t got the update to test and they are being advised to wait to get the feature for testing.

Speaking of testing some features, WhatsApp is also reportedly testing the consecutive voice messages feature that will enable users to listen to all received voice messages in succession. This means that one won’t need to tap on every individual voice message to hear it as the app would automatically do this for the user. The feature will work when someone receives two or more voice messages and when the first voice message is played. Additionally, the consecutive voice messages feature is also said to notify the user when a voice message ends and the next one begins.
