WhatsApp Gets Call Waiting Feature: Know How it Works
The call waiting feature has been rolled out for Android users now earlier it was only available for iOS users.
Last week WhatsApp rolled out a new update that brings an essential change to how it handled calling feature on the app. Users who have an updated WhatsApp app will now get a call waiting alert it will work just the way regular call waiting works.
The latest Call waiting is available for v2.19.352 stable (APK Mirror) and above of WhatsApp, and v2.19.128 (APK Mirror) of WhatsApp Business. Apple iPhone users have already got this feature of call waiting.
Almost four years back, WhatsApp introduced calling functionality in the app. Since then, WhatsApp has improved the section with newer features such as group voice calling and ability to switch to video during the call. But the app did not have a call waiting functionality. Users used to receive a missed call alert after the call ended while the caller got an engage tone or full ring with no response.
The latest update has fixed this problem anyhow. No receiver gets an alert that someone is trying to reach them during the call and will have the option to accept the incoming call by ending the current call. They can also reject the call.
This WhatsApp's call waiting feature, however, isn't perfect, yet. We still don't have an option of merging two calls, the way we can do with regular calls. Still, we cannot put the existing call on wait and take the incoming call in between.
Other than the call waiting feature, WhatsApp's new beta update has brought three new options for dark mode on the app. As per the WABetaInfo, the light theme shows a white background whereas Dark theme enables the dark mode on WhatsApp.
There's another new 'Set by Battery Saver' option wherein the dark mode is activated based on the battery levels of the smartphone. This feature is going to be available only for smartphones running on Android 9.0 or older.
