WhatsApp Brings Missed-Call Voice and Video Messages to iOS With Redesigned Calls Hub

A server-side rollout means some iPhone users will see the changes before others.

Overview

  • iOS app version 25.35.74 adds the option to leave a voice or video message when a call goes unanswered.
  • The Calls tab now presents a consolidated hub with quick access to contacts and favorites, call scheduling, and a keypad for unsaved numbers.
  • Users can launch single or group calls from the hub, with reports indicating support for group calls of up to 31 participants.
  • Availability is being enabled in waves on the server side, so users on the same app version may get the features at different times.
  • WABetaInfo reports testing of short video responses for missed video calls that are not yet documented in official changelogs, and the redesigned view reached Android months earlier.
