WhatsApp to Launch Audio Chats in Next Android Update:
Reportedly, WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is working on a new feature called “audio chats” for Android users.
This feature will be available within conversations in a future update of the application.
As per WABetaInfo, users will be able to initiate audio chats by clicking on a new waveforms icon added to the chat header.
Additionally, users will also see a red button for ending ongoing calls.
According to the report, the addition of a waveform icon in WhatsApp’s upcoming “audio chats” feature suggests the potential for real-time audio visualization.
It is likely that the space above the chat header could be reserved for displaying audio waveforms.
And providing users with a minimalistic interface to view waveforms while navigating between conversations.
The report further noted that they have limited information available on how this feature will work since the feature is still under development.
Meanwhile, Meta has launched a new WhatsApp application for Windows, which boasts a faster loading time and a user interface similar to the mobile version of the app.
