WhatsApp Testing Redesigned Voice Call Interface for Improved User Experience
WhatsApp, the widely popular instant messaging app, is exploring a revamped voice call interface aimed at enhancing user convenience during calls. This potential redesign seeks to simplify call management by relocating key buttons for muting and ending calls to the top bar of the screen.
The current voice call interface on WhatsApp has remained largely unchanged since the introduction of voice calling features nearly a decade ago. However, according to reports from WABetaInfo, WhatsApp developers are now testing a new interface that relocates the mute and end call buttons from the bottom of the screen to the top bar, alongside the call duration indicator. Notably, these buttons will only be visible when the call screen is minimized.
In the updated design, the mute button is positioned at the top left corner of the screen, while the end call button can be found at the top right corner. Although this design change is currently undergoing limited testing and may not be immediately available to all users even with the latest WhatsApp beta installation, it promises a more streamlined user experience.
This redesign represents a significant improvement over the existing interface, where users are required to navigate back to the call screen to perform actions during a call. By relocating essential buttons to the top bar, users will have quick access to mute or end calls without interrupting the conversation flow.
In recent weeks, WhatsApp has introduced several new features to enhance user interaction, including the ability to pin up to three messages in chats, screen and audio sharing during video calls on iPhones, and a chat filter function to facilitate message searches within chats.
As WhatsApp continues to evolve and adapt to user needs, these updates demonstrate a commitment to delivering a seamless and intuitive communication experience for millions of users worldwide. Stay tuned for further developments as WhatsApp refines its interface to meet the demands of modern communication.
