WhatsApp gets audio chats
Thanks to the latest WhatsApp Beta for Android (2.23.7.12), WABetaInfo discovered a new feature called audio chats (audio conversations).
We see in the screenshot below that the call button has been replaced by a button with a wave. Tapping it opens a menu where you can choose between Open audio chat and Call group. WABetaInfo was able to get the user interface for the feature up and running, although the feature itself isn’t working yet. So it is a matter of speculation on how this feature will work, since WhatsApp itself has not yet announced anything about it.

It’s possible the feature is intended as a way to join conversations with friends and colleagues in group chats, much like the Twitter Spaces, Slack Huddles, or the voice chats in Discord. You can then enter a conversation unnoticed and leave it again. Since the group call button is also still there, this seems like the most plausible feature for audio chats. Your phone will then not ring during the audio chats.
Audio chats are currently being tested by WhatsApp. The feature will be available in a future app update. What do you think of the audio chats in WhatsApp? Would you use them? Let us know in the comments below this article.
