How does WhatsApp call waiting feature work?

Before the update, when Android users received a WhatsApp call in the middle of another WhatsApp call, the incoming call was automatically disconnected and they would see a missed call notification when the existing conversation ended. But after the update, users can pick up incoming calls while talking with another person.

But now after the update, users can choose whether they want to pick up the second incoming call or not. As we told you that when the second incoming call comes, the user will see two options on the screen, first Decline and second End & Accept. If you click on Decline button you can keep talking on your first call. But if you click on End & Accept then your first call will be disconnected, in this case you will be able to talk on the second call.

Apart from call waiting, the updated group privacy feature is also being rolled out with the new WhatsApp update. This means that now users will be able to decide who can add them to WhatsApp calls. For this you will have to go to Account > Privacy > Groups in the settings menu. The changelog of the new stable and beta WhatsApp update also mentions that the new update is coming with fingerprint lock feature support. You can also enable this feature by going to Settings > Account > Privacy > Fingerprint Lock.
