WhatsApp users will soon experience clearer calls with the introduction of a noise cancellation feature. The feature aims to reduce background noise during voice and video calls. As a result, users can hear the other person clearly, even in noisy environments. WhatsApp is currently developing the feature for Android users, and it will be rolled out in future updates.
H3: How the New Noise Cancellation Feature Works
According to WABetaInfo, this new feature will filter out unwanted sounds during calls, such as traffic or conversations. The noise cancellation technology will identify the user’s voice and suppress all other background noises. This feature will be similar to what is currently used in ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) earphones. However, here, the technology will be applied directly through the phone’s microphone.
Privacy and Control Remain Intact
The feature will not affect end-to-end encryption. It will process the noise filtering on the device itself. Therefore, the user’s voice will be cleaned, encrypted, and then sent. Additionally, users will have the option to turn the feature on or off based on their preferences.
Android Users Will Benefit the Most
Currently, WhatsApp does not offer this feature on Android devices. However, some level of microphone control exists on iPhones and iPads. This new feature will significantly benefit Android users. Once a call starts, the feature will automatically activate, ensuring clearer calls without any extra effort from users.
