WhatsApp is introducing a new Voice Chat feature for large groups, similar to the Discord feature, announced the company owned by Meta Monday. The new feature is designed to be less intrusive than a group call, which notifies every member in a group. Voice conversations start quietly without any dialing, with a bubble inside the conversation that you tap to join.

The feature allows you to talk to anyone who can join, while allowing you to continue messaging with those who can't. You can quickly unlock, end the call or send a message to the group without leaving the voice chat by clicking on the call controls at the top of the debate.
The company will launch voice chat globally for large groups in the coming weeks, starting with those with 33 people or more. WhatsApp notes that it protects voice chats with default end-to-end encryption.
Voice chats on WhatsApp work in essentially the same way as similar features on WhatsApp, but in the same way as similar features on Discord, Telegram and Slack, as they allow large groups of people to connect via voice chat.
