San Francisco: Meta-owned WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a new “reply to message” feature to some beta testers on Android.
The company says it will roll out the feature to more people in the coming days.
According to WABetaInfo, this feature will allow users to easily reject incoming calls and send a message to the caller at the same time.
WhatsApp users will now notice a new “Reply” button on incoming call notifications, which will appear next to the existing “Decline” and “Answer” buttons.
If the user chooses to click the “Reply” button, the call will be rejected and a message box will automatically open allowing the user to send the caller a quick message, the report said.
This feature can come in handy in situations where the user is unable to answer the phone, such as during a meeting, but still wants to acknowledge the caller and indicate that they will respond as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp announced that users can now use the same WhatsApp account on multiple phones through its multi-device login feature.
Users can now connect their phone as one of up to four additional devices.
The company says the update has started rolling out to users around the world and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
