Welcome to the world of WhatsApp, where communication meets innovation! This messaging platform has revolutionized the way we connect with our friends and family. With its user-friendly interface and a plethora of features, WhatsApp has become our digital hangout. One of the game-changing features of WhatsApp is its voice call functionality. But what happens when you receive a regular call while you are already on a WhatsApp voice call? Can you answer it? Let’s find out!
Can I Still Receive Regular Calls When in a WhatsApp Voice Call?
Yes, you can! Technically, you have the option to receive regular calls while you’re on a WhatsApp voice call. However, it’s up to you whether you want to pick up the call or let it go to voicemail. When you are on a WhatsApp call and another call comes in, the other caller will only hear the dial tone. They won’t know that you’re already talking to someone else.
If you choose to answer the regular call, the WhatsApp call will be automatically placed on hold. You can then have a conversation with the new caller while the person on the WhatsApp call either waits or decides to hang up and continue the conversation later. This feature comes in handy when you have multiple important calls coming in simultaneously.
But what if the person calling you also uses WhatsApp? In that case, they will be notified that you are busy on another call. However, if they call you on your phone number instead of WhatsApp, they won’t know that you’re on a WhatsApp call.
To let the person calling you know that you’re busy on a WhatsApp call, you can send them a quick WhatsApp or text message, informing them that you’ll call them back as soon as you’re available. This way, they won’t be left wondering why you’re not answering their call.
So, the answer is yes, you can still receive regular calls when you’re on a WhatsApp voice call. The decision to answer or decline the call is entirely up to you.
How to Create a Conference/Group Call on WhatsApp
WhatsApp not only allows you to make voice calls, but it also lets you create conference or group calls. This feature comes in handy when you want to have a conversation with multiple people at the same time. Here’s how you can create a conference/group call on WhatsApp:
1. Open WhatsApp on your smartphone and go to the “Calls” tab.
2. Look for the option called “Create call link” and tap on it.
3. Once you tap on the option, a unique call link will be created.
4. You can choose whether you want it to be an audio or a video call.
5. Now, you have the option to share the call link on WhatsApp or copy and share it across other apps and platforms.
6. All that’s left is for the participants to join the call and wait for others to join as well.
Creating a conference/group call on WhatsApp is a convenient way to have group discussions or catch up with multiple friends or family members at the same time. It eliminates the need for separate calls and allows everyone to be part of the conversation.
Conclusion
WhatsApp’s voice call feature brings convenience and flexibility to our communication. While on a WhatsApp voice call, you have the option to receive regular calls, but it’s up to you whether you want to answer them or let them go to voicemail. The person calling you won’t know that you’re already on a WhatsApp call unless they also call you on WhatsApp. In that case, they will be notified that you’re busy. Additionally, WhatsApp allows you to create conference/group calls, making it easier to have conversations with multiple people simultaneously. So, go ahead and enjoy the seamless communication experience that WhatsApp offers!
