WhatsApp is developing a new in-app noise cancellation feature for voice and video calls, currently spotted in the latest beta version for Android.
The feature currently exists in development phases, but the team releases it to beta testers through gradual deployment. The upcoming feature is designed to automatically reduce background noise during calls.
The system operates to enhance voice understanding in areas where wind, vehicle traffic, and human crowds exist. The feature enables users to filter out external sounds, which results in better call comprehension for both parties involved in the conversation.
Toggle Available in Call Menu
Users will be able to enable or disable noise cancellation through a toggle located in the call interface. The system will automatically activate the feature when users first start using it.
Users can turn the feature on or off according to their personal needs and their current surroundings. The feature is currently being tested with a limited group of Android beta users.
The testing phase will enable system expansion to all Android users within the upcoming weeks or months if it continues to run without problems.
