The report also shared screenshots of what the noise cancellation feature will look like. The screenshots show that during a call, users will need to scroll up to find the noise cancellation feature, which will require a toggle to be turned on.
Noise cancellation isn't available on the Android platform, but it is available on devices running the iOS platform. When a WhatsApp call comes in on an iPhone, iPad, or other devices, the noise cancellation feature is automatically enabled.
What is noise cancellation?
Noise cancellation, a feature found in many true wireless stereos and smartphones, works by isolating surrounding traffic noise, wind noise, and crowd noise to ensure your voice reaches the other end of the call.
This feature will be a game changer for WhatsApp
The effectiveness of WhatsApp's voice cancellation feature will only be known in the coming days. Currently, this feature is in the testing phase and is available to select individuals. It will be rolled out to the stable version in the coming days.
