The calling feature on WhatsApp works the same way as it does in other apps. The application, now owned by Facebook has launched the always mute option for an indefinite period, besides also planning to bring ‘Use WhatsApp on other devices’ option which would enable users to use it in a desktop mode without using a QR code. Is there anyway to stop that, sometimes I'd like to mute myself without people constantly asking me why I muted myself because they can see it. WhatsApp has brought some changes to its app and further plan to bring more for its over two billion users globally to provide a smooth messaging and call experience. Earlier, the mute feature of WhatsApp messenger would only allow the users to mute the messages from a specific contact or a group for a period of 8 hours, a week or a year.

WhatsApp has also updated its storage UI look for Beta users. With the current beta for Android, several users are now reportedly receiving the feature who left behind when it was released initially. A different window appears when you make a call; it’s smaller and features controls to mute your mic and hang up. For muting a specific user or a specific group chat, one has to tap the contact and select mute notifications, from there they can choose the amount of time they want the user's message notifications to be muted.

Users can avail this function as soon as they update their Whatsapp into its recent version. It’s the green speech bubble icon with a white phone receiver inside. The new WhatsApp feature was under the testing stage for a few months, but the feature has finally been rolled out now. It also plans to introduce voice and video calls on its web version along with new features that allow WhatsApp Business users to sell products directly from the platform.

When you mute your microphone during a video call in whatsapp, it shows the other person they're muted with a message that stays on their screen. This would help the users to search for a specific message or even multimedia, just like one does in the Gmail search bar. WhatsApp had already rolled out a new feature called 'Chat Search', where the users can search for photos, videos, GIFs, documents, link, videos, audio clips etc.
