WhatsApp announced the release of its updated group voice call experience on Friday, which includes the ability to mute other participants. The update also adds the ability for users to message a specific participant while on the call.

To get the option to mute or message a call participant, press and hold the name card of that participant. A pop-up menu with the given options will appear.

The ability to mute someone on call is especially useful if they forget to mute themselves. The participant, on the other hand, can unmute themselves at any time by pressing the Unmute button.

In addition to the above-mentioned group voice call update, WhatsApp also added an indicator to inform participants when more people join large calls.

Also, WhatsApp has updated its Privacy control settings, now users can select who from the contact list they want to show their Profile Photo, About, and Last Seen status.
