These new features can be seen soon on WhatsApp

WhatsApp is testing improvements in its voice calling interface. These days, the app is also testing the ability to automatically join group calls. This feature was not available on WhatsApp till now, if you have forgotten to join an ongoing group call or for some reason could not be a part of this call from the beginning, then you could be added to the group by the active user of the call. However, now WhatsApp has tried to fill this gap, which is currently in the testing phase. WhatsApp is now going to give users an option to join ongoing group calls. WhatsApp has rolled out these two changes for iOS beta users.

Latest from WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo Report According to , the instant messaging platform has introduced these changes for iOS beta v2.21.140.11 on TestFlight. In these updates, users will get a new user interface for calling, which will be similar to the FaceTime interface. This allows users to quickly find options, including a new Ring button right next to the username. Additionally, the latest WhatsApp for iOS beta update is also testing the ability for people to join a group call even after it has started.

According to WABetaInfo, if the user has accidentally or unknowingly missed the group call, then when he opens WhatsApp after some time, he will find that the group call is still going on, after which the user will be left without any member. With Help, you can automatically join a group call. If you join the call in the middle, WhatsApp will present you with an alert so you don’t have to seek help from another member to join the group call. To join the ongoing group call, WhatsApp will show you Tap to join banner in the call tab and Join call button will be given in the group from which the group call has been made.

Both these features have been introduced in WhatsApp for iOS beta v2.21.140.11 and users can test them by updating to the latest version. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp may soon introduce these features in Android beta also. However, at present the timeline information is not clear.
