WhatsApp drops 'Missed call messages'—here's what's new
WhatsApp just rolled out Missed Call Messages, letting you send a quick voice or video note straight from the missed call screen.
The update also brings smarter Meta AI tools and handy tweaks for group calls and desktop users.
Missed a call? Leave a 60-second note
Now, if someone misses your call, you can instantly leave them a short voice or video message right from the call screen.
It's an easy way to explain why you called or keep the convo going without extra steps.
Smarter AI and group chat upgrades
Meta AI on WhatsApp gets a boost with better image creation using Flux and Midjourney models, plus a photo-to-animation tool powered by text prompts.
Group calls now highlight who's talking, while desktop users get all their media—docs, pics, videos—in one neat tab.
How does WhatsApp stack up?
Compared to Telegram and Signal: Telegram has lots of channels but less encryption by default and no call-screen replies;
Signal is big on privacy but doesn't offer video missed-call notes or creative AI features like WhatsApp now does.
