WhatsApp introduces new audio call bar feature for enhanced multitasking
WhatsApp is improving its interface with the latest beta update, which introduces a new audio call bar feature. The update is available for Android users with version 2.24.10.18 via the Google Play Beta Program.
With version 2.24.7.19, WhatsApp brought a redesigned calling screen with clearer buttons and a minimized option. Now, WhatsApp takes a step further by adding a call bar at the top of the screen, allowing users to manage audio calls without staying on the call screen. This bar allows users to mute or end calls directly.
This feature is mainly beneficial for users who multitask, as it enables them to handle calls while engaging in other activities within the app. The call bar’s design provides easy access to essential call functions.
The rollout of the new audio call bar feature is gradual, with more beta testers expected to receive access in the coming days. The full release of this feature to all users is scheduled for future updates. Through this new feature, WhatsApp aims to make audio call management more convenient and user-friendly.

WhatsApp is ready to elevate the messaging experience with its latest beta (2.24.22.5) update for Android users. The fresh beta update rolling out a new WhatsApp feature that allows users to filter chats using custom lists.
With custom lists, users can organize their conversations better. It means that you can create special filters to find specific chats more quickly, whether for personal use or business.

You can also add or remove people from your lists and rename them whenever you want via the customization option present at the bottom of the chat list.

The custom chat filtering feature of WhatsApp is currently available to some beta testers and will be rolled out to more users in the coming weeks.

WhatsApp introduces Grey Ring to keep status updates visible in chats tab
WhatsApp is bringing a Grey Ring for status updates via the latest beta update. This update is available for Android users with version 2.24.22.2 through the Google Play Beta Program.
The new feature allows users to view previously seen status updates directly from the chats tab. It makes it easier to revisit content without navigating back to the Status tab.
With this new beta update, WhatsApp is improving how users interact with status updates. In the past, when someone posted a new status, a ring appeared around their profile picture in the chats tab. This ring will disappear once you view the status.
Now, WhatsApp is making a change so that the ring remains visible, even after you have seen the status. However, the ring changes color and turns grey after the status is viewed.
This grey ring indicates that you can still tap on it to view the status again. This makes it convenient for users who want to revisit a status without having to go back to the Status tab.
Currently, this Grey Ring Status feature is available to some beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta update. The feature is gradually rolling out to beta users and WhatsApp plans to make it available to all users soon via future updates.
