"When a contact misses your voice or video call, you'll now be prompted to record a voice or video message (depending on the call type) without manually navigating to the microphone or camera options in the chat toolbar. WhatsApp doesn't provide a traditional voicemail feature built into the actual calls, but these messages serve the same function. The platform is just leaning on its existing voice note and video recording features to provide a similar experience - one that missed call contacts will immediately see upon opening their chats."
"WhatsApp says it's making "voicemails a thing of the past" by introducing a new feature that pretty much works like voicemail. This WhatsApp update is also adding additional features, including the ability to send reactions during voice chats, and a feature that automatically highlights whoever is speaking during video calls. Midjourney and Flux AI models are also now available in WhatsApp's image generation tools, following Meta signing partnership deals with Midjourney and Black Forest Labs earlier this year."
WhatsApp now prompts users to record a voice or video message immediately after a missed voice or video call. The prompt opens the appropriate microphone or camera control in the chat so callers can leave a note without manually navigating to recording tools. The feature replicates voicemail functionality by using voice notes and video recordings that missed-call contacts see when they open the chat. Additional features include reactions during voice chats, automatic highlighting of the current speaker during video calls, and new image-generation models from Midjourney and Flux AI available in the app's tools.
