WhatsApp working on new 'voicemail feature' for calls

When you cannot reach someone by phone, usually most callers choose to send an app. Sometimes voicemail is still recorded. That feature will make its debut in WhatsApp, new reports indicate.

WhatsApp with voicemail feature

If you sometimes make calls to someone via WhatsApp, it is interesting to know that WhatsApp is working on a new feature. Many send a WhatsApp note or message when someone cannot be reached with a phone call. Using voicemail is still often avoided. Yet that is the feature the messaging service's developers are working on. If you can't get hold of someone using WhatsApp's phone function, you will soon be able to leave a voicemail.

Currently, the feature is not yet available to users. Clues to this have been made in the chat app's code. How the feature works is quite simple. You call someone, the person does not answer, and then you get the option to leave a voicemail message.

Unknown is when WhatsApp will make the new feature available.
