WhatsApp has formally launched a new voice chat feature that enables users to take advantage of live discussions with large groups that are more seamless and less disruptive. Unlike phone calls and voice notes, the new feature does not ring each group member individually when a voice chat is started. As an alternative, users can choose to join the voice discussion at any time after receiving a silent notification.
Key Features
Realistic Sound with Spatial Audio:
Voice Chat in WhatsApp makes it sound like your friends are right there with you. It feels more real, like having a chat face-to-face.

If you’re in a noisy place, don’t worry! WhatsApp’s Voice Chat smartly reduces background noise. This way, everyone can hear each other clearly, even if you’re in a busy spot.
Switch Between Text and Talk
You can easily switch between writing messages and talking in the same app. It’s super convenient to choose how you want to communicate.
