Audio and video calls are currently appearing separately in WhatsApp's personal chat. However, after the update, these options will be replaced by a single call button, which will give the option of a call link along with audio and video calls. This will make calling very easy.
Now talking about group chat, a video call icon has been added to it. However, users will be able to make audio calls along with video by clicking on it. Also, there will be a facility to share call links. The advantage of this will be that users will be able to talk to selected members without disturbing all the members.
Work is going on on this feature.
Apart from the new call menu, WhatsApp is currently working on a feature, which will allow users to put sticker photos on status updates. This will make the status even more fun. At present, this feature is for beta users. It is being speculated that the feature will be rolled out to everyone in the coming days.
