Audio/ Video Group Calls Made Easier with New Button
Now users get on-screen notifications through which they can join the ongoing call directly. The notification will show users that a call that they haven’t joined is in progress. Once users click on the “join” button, they will be part of the ongoing call on WhatsApp.
— WhatsApp (@WhatsApp) October 18, 2021 The best thing about this feature is that it works for both Audio and video calls that are made through the platform. Moreover, this feature will show the name of the group instead of the participants who are attending the call.
