New UI for group voice calls to be introduced in WhatsApp update: Report

Messaging platform WhatsApp has been found working on a new voice call interface. According to reports, the layout will be available in both the Android and iOS versions of the messaging app. Through the new interface, WhatsApp may be able to provide a better experience for both solo and group phone conversations. However, the improvements are accessible to some iOS beta testers. This implies that consumers may have to wait a while before seeing the improved voice call interface.
