JAKARTA - Meta expands the presence of voice chat or audio chat features to all group sizes on WhatsApp, which allow users to have conversations similar to regular group chats, but in audio.
This feature was originally launched in 2023 for large groups with 33-256 members. However, this expansion can now also be found in small groups with few members.
Unlike ordinary voice calls, this audio chat is similar to Discord which is more flexible because anyone can join or get out of the conversation at any time without disturbing the conversation.
Audio chats appear to be more suitable for casual discussions or community chats, as they don't require everyone to attend at the same time.
That's why we deliver audio chats for all group sizes so you can connect directly via audio at any time, without having to leave group chats or switch to phone calls, Meta wrote in its announcement.
Starting an audio chat will not tell anyone or call anyone, so users can join and leave the chat area at any time.
SEE ALSO:
Later, the audio chat will remain embedded at the bottom of the chat so that you can easily access phone call controls, while new members can join whenever they want and see who has joined.
As usual, WhatsApp will protect your audio chats as well as phone calls and conversation messages with end-to-end encryption by default.
