What's the story

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called 'missed call messages' for its Android and iPhone users. The update comes just in time for the holiday season and aims to improve communication across calls, chats, Status updates, and desktop usage. The main idea behind this feature is to provide better ways of staying connected during busy times.

Feature details

How 'missed call messages' works

The 'missed call messages' feature lets you leave a quick voice or video note when you miss a call. The recipient can listen to or watch the message later, reducing the need for traditional voicemail. This way, users can communicate more effectively even when they are busy with other things.

Feature enhancements

WhatsApp enhances voice chats and video calls

Along with 'missed call messages,' WhatsApp has also improved voice chats and group video calls. The platform now lets participants react with emojis during an ongoing voice chat, without interrupting the conversation. For group video calls, a speaker spotlight feature has been added that automatically prioritizes the active speaker on screen, making it easier for participants to follow the conversation.
