Fri 28 Apr 2023:
Meta-owned WhatsApp is rolling out a new “reply with a message” feature under call notifications to some Android beta testers.
The company stated that the feature will be made available to even more people in the following days.
This feature will allow users to easily decline an incoming call and send a message to the caller at the same time.
WhatsApp users will now notice a new “reply” button on incoming call notifications, which will appear alongside the existing “decline” and “answer” buttons.
If a user chooses to tap on the “reply” button, the incoming call will be rejected, and a message box will open automatically, allowing the user to send a quick message to the caller, the report said.
This feature can come in handy in situations where the user cannot answer a call, such as during a meeting, but still wishes to acknowledge the caller and convey that they will respond as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has announced that through its multi-device login feature, users will be able to use the same WhatsApp account on multiple phones.
Users can now link up to four extra devices to their phone.
According to the company, this update has begun rolling out to users worldwide and will be available to everyone in the following weeks.
