Android users might soon have an interesting feature on their WhatsApp. The company is reportedly working on a new feature called "audio chats", which will be available within conversations in a future update of the application on Android. According to WABetaInfo, a new waveforms icon will be added to the chat header, allowing users to initiate audio chats, plus users will see a red button for ending ongoing calls.

As the waveform icon signifies the potential for real-time audio visualisation, the report states that it is likely that the space above the chat header could be reserved for displaying audio waveforms. It will provide a minimalistic interface that allows users to view audio waveforms while navigating between their conversations.
