[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1065009, member: 52014"] The new voice chat feature being rolled out by WhatsApp is aimed at providing a less disruptive way to conduct voice calls in large groups. Previously spotted in beta, WhatsApp has now officially announced the feature. While it has already been possible to make voice calls with up to 32 participants on WhatsApp, the new voice chat feature works differently. Instead of participants being automatically rung when a voice chat starts, they will receive a push notification and there will be an in-chat bubble they can tap to join. During a voice chat, call controls will be accessible from the top of the chat, allowing participants to continue sending text messages simultaneously. Similar to personal WhatsApp messages, voice chats are end-to-end encrypted and can accommodate up to 32 participants.
