IMPORTANT NOTES
  • The new ringtone for Group Calls is available with the 2.20.198.11 update.
  • If you don’t see the update on the Play Store, please refresh the Google Play Store in the next hours.
RINGTONE FOR GROUP CALLS

When you receive a group call, WhatsApp will play a new ringtone (note: the ringtone will be looped):

If you’re experiencing issues to play this audio, please temporarily disable the night theme for this website.

NEW STICKER ANIMATION

Recently, WhatsApp has implemented a new type of animation for animated stickers, looping them at most 8 times. Long animated stickers (so animated stickers having a lot of frames) will loop less times.
With the 2.20.198.11 update, the feature should be available for everyone now.

UI IMPROVEMENTS FOR CALLS

WhatsApp is currently working to improve the UI for calls, in particular moving all buttons to the bottom of the screen.

Note: this UI improvement is not available yet because it’s under development, but sometimes it might appear due to a bug.
