Whatsapp New Feature: Whatsapp has made a big change about group voice chat. Earlier this facility was limited to big groups only, but now it has become available for small groups as well. That is, if there are only 3-4 people in your group, you can still start voice chat.
What is the new update?
This feature is called Whatsapp “Audio Hangout”. This means that now you can comfortably start an audio conversation in small groups without calling – like a small personal podcast.
How to work?
When you start a group voice chat, the rest of the group members will not get any ring like a call. They will only get notifications, and they can join or leave whenever they want. This process works without any interruption. This voice chat is pinned under the WhatsApp chat screen, which gives you call controls quickly. Along with this, new members who come in the group later can also see and join this voice chat.
How to start
To start this voice chat, go downwards in group chat and swipe upwards from the chat box. Hold for a few seconds, and the voice chat will be activated.
Why did Whatsapp start this feature now?
The company has not given any specific reason for this, but it is definitely said that voice chats like other chats and calls will also be protected from end-to-end encryption. Such features were already available on platforms like Clubhouse and X Space, and now WhatsApp has also taken a step towards giving this experience to users. If you also want to interact with your friends or team without calling hassle, then this feature of WhatsApp can be very useful for you.
