WhatsApp experiments with voicemail-style option for missed calls

Meta’s messaging platform WhatsApp is testing a new voicemail-style feature
Meta’s messaging platform WhatsApp is testing a new voicemail-style feature that allows users to send voice messages when a call goes unanswered, adding a convenient voicemail shortcut to the interface.

Currently available to select Android beta users (version 2.25.23.21), the feature aims to simplify communication by providing a quick follow-up option directly from the call screen.

Feature Overview

When a WhatsApp voice call is missed, users will see three options on screen: call again, cancel, and a new shortcut to record a voice message.

This shortcut will also be accessible from the chat window with the recipient, allowing users to send a voice message without switching screens.

The recorded message is sent immediately within the conversation thread, accompanied by the missed call notification.

The feature mirrors traditional voicemail but is seamlessly integrated with WhatsApp’s chat interface, enhancing both convenience and immediacy.

Currently in testing for Android beta users, the feature has not been launched globally, and WhatsApp has not provided an official release date.

However, past patterns suggest it could see wider deployment following positive feedback from beta testing.

WhatsApp continues to introduce new features aimed at making communication easier and more convenient, and this voicemail-style option is expected to be a valuable addition to the app.

Earlier, WhatsApp had a feature to undo an accidentally deleted message, which many users had missed for a long time.

When deleting a message, users see a prompt featuring a ‘Delete for Me’ option and ‘Delete for Everyone’ option.

If users tap the ‘Delete for Me’ option, WhatsApp removes the message from the sender’s chat; however, it remains on the receiver’s phone.

If users miss tapping the undo button within that duration, it will disappear, and they will have no option to reverse the action.
