WhatsApp made a very important announcement for users all over the world, and that's because a huge change for phones has been launched, and now it should have reached almost everyone. We are talking about the fact that about a week ago WhatsApp decided to launch a special function for the application, one that allows receiving VoIP phone calls even if we have another one open with one of our contacts.
WhatsApp has launched this feature for its application in segments around the world, and now it has published the first official information about what it brings, so that everyone knows what it can use on phones. We are talking about explanations from WhatsApp regarding the way in which the call waiting function can be used right now, but unfortunately it is not offered just like in the case of mobile telephony, but in a different way.
WhatsApp: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT from the Phone Company
WhatsApp doesn't have the same functionality implemented for mobile phones because of the different way VoIP calls work, and a lot of people have known this for a while. This means that when you are called through WhatsApp while talking to someone through the platform, you will either have to accept the new call and close the existing one, or reject the new call, without being able to put the existing one on hold.
"If someone tries to call you while you're already in a WhatsApp voice or video call, you'll get a notification based on the type of call you're receiving and you'll be able to choose whether to answer or reject the call. The ongoing call will not be interrupted. End and accept: End the ongoing call and accept the received call. Reject: Reject the incoming call and stay in the ongoing call."
WhatsApp has a different functionality in the case of phone calls received while a VoIP call is in progress, in this situation, the new one can be accepted, while the call already opened through the platform can be put on hold. This functionality for WhatsApp is very useful for a lot of people, and it's good that it could be implemented in this way, because people will not be forced to give up calls in progress.
WhatsApp explains above how this system works, so that all users know what to expect from now on if they have the latest version of the application for mobile phones.
