The messaging platform will also allow users to mute participants or message one of them during a group call.
WhatsApp will also let users in a group call know when someone has joined the group call mid-way. This will be done through a banner notification that will pop up on the screen.
The new updates come just days after WhatsApp expanded its group voice call limit to 32 participants from the earlier 8 participants.
