WhatsApp Quick Voice Message Feature: WhatsApp is making call interactions a little smoother on iOS. The platform has started rolling out a new feature that lets you leave a voice message directly from the call screen when someone doesn’t pick up. No more hanging up, opening the chat, and recording separately—the option now appears instantly the moment a call goes unanswered.

WhatsApp Quick Voice Message Feature: How Does It Work?

If the person you’re calling doesn’t respond, you’ll see a ‘Record voice message’ prompt on the call interface. Tap it, speak, and send. The recipient receives both the missed call alert and the voice note together, which makes it easier to quickly understand why they were called and get back when convenient.

WABetaInfo says WhatsApp is also preparing a similar experience for video calls. If a video call isn’t answered, users will be able to record and send a short video message right from the screen.

Part of a Bigger Calls Redesign

This isn’t a standalone tweak. WhatsApp recently revamped the Calls tab into a unified call hub, giving everything a cleaner and more organized layout.

Here’s what it now includes:

- A Call button to place voice or video calls, including group calls with up to 31 people

- A Scheduling option to plan calls ahead of time

- A Keypad to dial numbers that aren’t saved

- A Favourites section for quick access to key contacts

The new layout bundles all calling tools in one place, reducing taps and making call management more intuitive.

iOS First—Android Later

At present, this update is rolling out first for iPhone users. If the voice message option hasn't appeared yet on your app, this means it hasn't received the update—however, WhatsApp tends to implement features gradually, so expect it to arrive shortly!
