WhatsApp is working on a new feature that could practically improve call quality. The company is testing in-app noise cancellation for both voice and video calls. This was spotted in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android, so it is still under development.
The feature is designed to reduce background noise during calls. It can help in situations where you are surrounded by traffic, people, or wind. The goal is to make your voice clearer without needing any extra setup.
There will be a toggle in the call menu, so users can turn it on or off anytime. It is expected to be enabled by default, which makes sense since most people will benefit from it.
Clear audio is one of the most important parts of any calling app. Even with a stable internet connection, background noise can make conversations difficult. People often take calls while moving around or sitting in noisy environments. In such cases, even a small improvement in noise control can make calls easier to handle.
Other apps like Zoom and Google Meet already offer similar features. So this move from WhatsApp feels overdue, but still important.
The feature is currently available to some beta testers on Android. Since it is still being tested, it may take some time before it reaches all users.
