WhatsApp: How the new call waiting feature works

The call waiting feature is a mobile phone veteran. Thanks to WhatsApp, the feature is now making it into the world of VoIP services. We explain the new feature and show who can use it.

Strengthening for WhatsApp telephony: iOS users can now be knocked on.

Those who make calls via WhatsApp do not need a telephone network, only an Internet connection. The classic features should not be missing despite digitization.

WhatsApp: All info on call waiting

Summarized simply:

• The official name according to WhatsApp is not call waiting, but second call.
• In practice, there is no surprise: If you get another call during a WhatsApp conversation, you will be informed acoustically.
• You can then decide whether to accept the new call. The ongoing call is thereby terminated, because there is no broker function.
• The function is initially only available for the iOS version (from 2.19.120) of WhatsApp.
• For Android, the call waiting will most likely also come, but confirmation and timing are still pending.

As VoIP telephony is becoming increasingly important, the call waiting feature could come at the right time, even if it is not of critical importance.
