WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, released a new update to its application to the Android system from which it brings the call waiting feature, but the update did not include the accompanying feature to hang up the call, so that when the user talks on the phone and another person tries to call him, most phones and operators know that the user has a call on hold .
It is noteworthy that there are very few VOIP services that support the call waiting feature, and WhatsApp was not among them, when when someone was trying to contact the user on WhatsApp while the user was making a call on the phone, the caller heard a ringing without the need to The user, then it is disconnected.
There was also no way for the user to know that there was a call via WhatsApp while speaking on the phone, and all he gets is a notification of a call that he did not answer when the original call was finished, then WhatsApp added a small notification to the callers to inform them that the recipient is already in another call, But this notice was not helpful to the user or the calling person.
But things have changed now, as if the user receives a second call while speaking with someone, the phone will ring and see a notification, then it is possible to either reject this second call and continue the first call or end the current call and accept the incoming call.
However, it should be borne in mind that pressing the green button for the second incoming call means that the active call is terminated immediately and the person the user is talking to believes that he has ended the call without prior warning, and there is currently no option to hang up calls, so it is not possible to make the callers wait while the user ends One of the two calls.
Call waiting feature is available within version 2.19.352 or later of the WhatsApp application for Android, and version 2.19.128 or later of the WhatsApp business application on Android
It is reported that the new update of the messaging app includes new privacy settings to control who can add the user to groups, as well as bring the feature of opening the application via fingerprint, and fix an issue that caused the battery to drain quickly in some devices.
