Meta-owned WhatsApp rolls-out voice-chat feature for large groups: Details

WhatsApp is rolling out a new voice chat feature for large groups. The Meta-owned Messaging Platform on November 14 announced that the new feature is similar to a group call but, instead of ringing each member, allows people to join in quietly with an in-chat popup notification.

To start a voice chat, a user needs to open the group chat that they want to start the voice chat with and tap on the blue voice chat icon on the top right corner of the screen. Then tap on the ‘Start Voice Chat’ option to initiate the conversation. Once started, group members will receive a push notification to join.
