WhatsApp continues to enhance its features with the rollout of several calling updates over the next few weeks to improve the experience across desktop and mobile devices.
One of the major updates is the introduction of screen sharing with audio, which is perfect for watching videos together. Users can now share both their screen and audio, making the feature more interactive and engaging. Additionally, WhatsApp is expanding its video call participant limit to 32 people across all devices, allowing for larger group interactions.
The new speaker spotlight feature automatically highlights the speaker, ensuring that the person talking appears first on screen, enhancing the overall user experience. WhatsApp remains focused on improving audio and video quality. The recently launched MLow codec significantly improves call reliability. Mobile calls now benefit from improved noise and echo cancellation, making it easier to have conversations in noisy environments. Video calls now offer higher resolution for users with faster connections, and audio quality has improved even with poor network connectivity or older devices.
WhatsApp‘s commitment to continually enhancing its calling features ensures users can make the best quality, private calls no matter where they are in the world. These updates aim to provide a more robust and seamless communication experience for its global user base.
WhatsApp’s new updates, especially the increased participant limit and enhanced audio-visual quality, position it as a more versatile tool for both personal and professional communication. These improvements highlight WhatsApp’s dedication to staying ahead in the competitive messaging app market by offering features that cater to the evolving needs of its users.
