This feature lets users have real-time group conversations without ringing notifications, ensuring a smooth and undisturbed communication experience for everyone in the group. Without disrupting the entire group.
Distinct from regular voice calls and notes, the voice chat starts discreetly with a silent notification. Group members receive an in-chat bubble, allowing them to seamlessly join the conversation at their convenience without disruptive ringing.

Participants can access call controls without hindering text messaging. With end-to-end encryption and the ability to accommodate up to 32 participants, users can talk live while still sending messages. This user-friendly feature is globally rolling out to groups ranging from 33 to 128 people.
Enhanced group conversations
WhatsApp's innovative voice chat feature revolutionises group conversations, making live discussions more convenient and less intrusive. With a user-friendly notification system and global availability, WhatsApp is enhancing the way users connect and communicate in groups.
