Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>If you have been on a group call with someone that just won\u2019t stop talking, you now have the ability to mute them with WhatsApp\u2019s new feature.<\/p>\n

In addition to muting individual users, you can also send messages to specific people while on a group call that involves up to the maximum of eight people on video calls or up to 32 on voice calls.<\/p>\n

The feature was announced by Will Cathcart who is the head of WhatsApp at Meta through Twitter.<\/p>\n

In addition to the features, WhatsApp is also rolling out a new banner that will alert you when someone new has joined the call after it already started.<\/p>\n

On Friday, WhatsApp announced that you can now choose which contacts can see your profile photo, about, and last seen status that shows when you were last active on the platform.<\/p>\n
