WhatsApp set to release new audio call bar feature: Here’s how it works

Messaging platform WhatsApp will launch a new audio call bar feature that is currently accessible to select Android beta testers, WABetaInfo reported. Select beta testers are currently exploring the feature designed to oversee outgoing audio calls within the app.

How does the new audio call bar feature work?

When users minimise the call, they encounter a redesigned call bar positioned at the interface’s top, providing enhanced management of outgoing calls. Previously, users had to tap the green status bar to re-enter the call. But with the arrival of the new call bar, users can now easily mute or end the call directly, removing the need to navigate back to the call screen.
