WhatsApp Allows You Silence Group Callers

London, Europe Brief News –This past week, WhatsApp released several new features, one of which is the option to silence someone when participating in group conversations (via Android Central). This sanity-saving function looks beneficial not just for muting those who forget to do it themselves but also if you’re in the same room as someone who is also on the call and doesn’t want to hear an echo of what they say. If you’re in the same room as someone on the call. Let’s review how the feature works.

WhatsApp Lets You Mute Callers

Although certain conferencing applications, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, enable hosts to silence all participants (or just certain ones), these apps often do not provide a mechanism for individual users to mute anybody they want while at a conference. This tool provides a new degree of control. It is generally better to save its use for hectic meetings that include up to eight people on video calls or up to the maximum of 32 people on phone conversations.

New Features Available

In addition to the new feature that allows you to mute yourself during a group call, WhatsApp now allows you to message specific people while on a group call. This can be useful if, for example, you want to make a note to someone during a meeting or crack a joke that might not go over well with the whole group. Additionally, WhatsApp will begin rolling out a new banner that will notify you if an additional participant joins an existing call after it has already begun.

Keep your Profile a Secret

The messaging service is working on expanding its capabilities beyond only the group calling capability it now offers. WhatsApp announced on Friday that you now can choose which contacts can see your profile picture, about, and last seen status, which indicates the time and date of your most recent activity on the network. 

This might assist keep your profile secret from people you do business with or anybody else you don’t want to have access to this information twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Due to the possible impact on users’ privacy, WhatsApp started automatically concealing users’ last seen status from unknown users in the previous year.

Data Transfer

After initially allowing users to transfer their conversation data in the opposite direction (from iPhone to Android) a year ago, WhatsApp started allowing users to transfer their conversation data in the opposite direction (from Android to iPhone) earlier this week. This means that Android users can now transfer their chat histories to iPhones.

Conclusion

When a new member joins a group call, an indication will appear on WhatsApp. To avoid having to go through the list of participants every time a person joins a WhatsApp group call, you may use this feature instead.

If you’re on the most recent WhatsApp build, the updates should flow to your device immediately. If not, they’ll show up in a few days or weeks.
