Overview
- WhatsApp is rolling out a new voice chat feature designed for large groups, allowing up to 128 participants.
- The new feature is less disruptive than the existing group call feature, as it starts quietly without ringing all participants, who receive a push notification instead.
- Participants can join the voice chat at any time and can continue to send text messages during the call.
- The voice chat feature will initially be available only for groups with 33 to 128 members.
- The feature will be rolled out globally over the coming weeks and will be available on iOS and Android.
