With this feature, people can join group calls directly by going to the Calls tab of the app. The feature also gets a new call info screen. In this, users can see who is involved in the call and which invitees have not joined yet.
The platform said in a blog post that this will not burden users with answering group calls when they start.
Before the new update, users who missed a call had to ask the caller to add them again. Where it was possible for a person to join later in this way, but it was not that convenient. In the new feature, it will be the decision of the users that when they want to join the group call. Apart from this, users can exit the ongoing call and join later, if the call is in progress.

How will the feature work?
The new feature will come with a new WhatsApp update, which will soon come to all Android and iOS devices. Making group calls will be as easy as before, but users will get a new way of notification when they are invited to the call. Now users will see two options when they are invited to a group call – Join and Ignore. On clicking Join, the user will go directly to the call, while tapping Ignore will go to the Calls tab in the app. Once you are free to take calls, you can go to the Calls tab on the right-hand side of the main screen of WhatsApp and tap on Ongoing Calls.
