WhatsApp for iOS now supports up to 32 participants group voice calls, Reactions coming soon

The latest WhatsApp iOS version brings a new feature that the company first teased last week. Starting now, users will be able to participe in group voice calls with up to 32 participants. This update contains everything you need to know.

WhatsApp is readying a lot of new features for the coming months, such as Reactions, increased size files users can send, community function, and more. With version 22.8. 80 of the app, users will now be able to participate in group voice calls with up to 32 people.

This update includes a redesign interface with a social audio layout, speaker highlight, and waveforms.

This new WhatsApp app for iOS features an updated design of voice message bubbles, info screens for groups and contacts. You can also access your favourite media gallery with a new feature.

It’s important that you note that these new features have been made available to users in the app. However, it could take some time for all users to see them, just as with WhatsApp new functions.

Apart from these features being released to all users, WABetaInfo recently discovered that the developers are readying Reactions 2.0 to its desktop version. This means that in a future update users will be able to react to a message with any emoji they want.

Last but not least, WhatsApp keeps working on the ability to remove the expiration date of a disappearing message. WABetaInfo explains:

When you keep a message it won’t disappear from the chat after its expiration, but anyone can un-keep it in the case they don’t agree to keep the message in the chat after the expiration. If a message is kept, it means it was a disappearing message converted to a normal message to avoid the expiration. If someone attempts to delete a message they will immediately remove it from chat
