WhatsApp is rolling a fresh batch of features for Android users, focusing on better control during calls and has increased privacy for shared media. According to WABETAINFO, new devices have been seen in the beta version 2.25.10.16 of WhatsApp for Android and are currently being tested by a limited group of users. One of the facilities testing the platform is a muted microphone option for the upcoming voice calls. This feature appears in the notification panel, which gives users a response to the call by muting their microphones. While practical use may vary, it may be particularly helpful in the noise environment or for users who want to listen to immediately without attractive.

The second update worries about video calls, which gives users the option to disable their camera before responding. This change can be a welcome for anyone who needs a moment before appearing on camera or for those who do not prefer to appear on the video. It also adds a degree of privacy while dealing with unknown collars, as the users will not automatically show on the screen when taking video calls.

WhatsApp is also bringing more expression to video calls with the introduction of emoji reactions. These will allow participants to react in real time using emozis, offering a light and visual methods to engage during conversations.

These new features are currently available to select beta testers and expect to roll out for a comprehensive user base in the coming weeks.

Apart from a call-related upgrade, WhatsApp is also allegedly working on a new privacy facility. Traditionally, any photos or videos obtained on WhatsApp will automatically be saved into the recipient’s phone storage – something that has increased privacy and security concerns among users. Now, the app is seen flipping the script by controlling the sectors on the media auto-service. With this update, the users will be able to decide whether the material they send should be saved on the recipient’s device. The option will appear as a togal, much like the current disappearance messages.
This can be an important step for users who often share sensitive or individual materials, as it reduces the risk of data misuse, inadvertently forwarding or storage on unsafe devices.

As always, since these changes are still in beta, it can happen a few weeks before all Android users reach. For now, in beta programs they can start searching for new tools – just don’t forget to update your app.
