Meta’s WhatsApp Set to Introduce Collective Audio Feature for Video Calls
San Francisco, Dec 22: In an effort to enhance user experience and foster collaboration, WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is reportedly developing a new feature for video calls. This upcoming feature will enable all participants in a video call to collectively listen to video and music audio when someone shares their screen. The development is currently underway for both iOS and Android platforms, as per reports from WABetaInfo.
This innovative feature is expected to add a new layer of functionality to video calls, setting WhatsApp apart in the competitive landscape of messaging and communication apps. By allowing users to listen to video and music audio simultaneously during a video conversation, WhatsApp aims to redefine multimedia collaboration.
The feature is anticipated to open up new possibilities for real-time collaboration, enabling users to discuss and enjoy multimedia content together. This move highlights WhatsApp’s commitment to ongoing innovation, focusing on improving the overall user experience.
In related updates, WhatsApp is rolling out a new ‘manage emoji replacement’ feature to select beta testers. Users installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2350.3.0 update from the Microsoft Store will have the option to disable the text-to-emoji replacement feature, providing enhanced control over their messaging experience.
