Tech giant company Meta's instant messaging app WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature for the users that is "voice-chat".

The company has launched this feature for chatting in large groups. This feature can be used in those groups which have minimum 33 and maximum 128 participants.

Previously, WhatsApp rolled out this feature for beta users only, but now Android and iOS users can also use it. This is a kind of voice calling feature, with the help of this feature you will be able to communicate easily in WhatsApp groups instead using call and video chat.

With the help of this feature, users who are not interested in picking group calls will not be disturbed. Instead of ringing everyone in a group call, some people will now receive push notifications.

How will it work?

Anyone can join a voice chat in their group at any time and start speaking without calling out everyone else in the group chat. If a voice chat is empty for 60 minutes, it will automatically end, but anyone can start a new voice chat at any time.

When a group call comes, users will get its control at the top. Users will also get the option to send text messages and photos while calling. Users can also do personal chatting while calling. This voice chat will be in End-To-End Encrypted format, which will be very helpful in terms of safety.
