What is this “vocal discussion” that WhatsApp has just launched that allows you to talk to each other without disturbing the other members of a group?

“New: discuss in a group and live with vocal discussions.” Surely this WhatsApp message presents its new tool has received. The application has a vocal discussion function, a mixture between the traditional group call and the voice message, which is increasingly used.

This new way of discussing is available in the conversations of the application group. Simply press a button and it is as if you were receiving a group call with a notable advantage, the vocal discussion does not notify the other members of the call group.

No more telephone rings for a group conversation that does not concern him. For those who want to join a vocal discussion, it will have to be done manually from the group conversation.

How to start the tool

The use of this tool is now an integral part of the WhatsApp communication interface, here is how to use it:

• Start by going to the desired group discussion
• A simple scan in the conversation will show a bubble icon, let your finger press
• Remove your finger and discussion will begin
• For other members to join the discussion, they will have to press the “Unite” button
• Participants in the discussion can also press the “Hello” emoji to send a discreet notification and invite other people in the group to join them

Several points must be taken into account:

• If nobody responds, the discussion ends after 60 minutes
• It is impossible to start several audio conversations within the same group
• An administrator or the person who has launched the appeal cannot exclude someone from the discussion
• It is possible to cut your microphone in the conversation

If you cannot start the function, make sure that WhatsApp is updated with its latest version.

Functionality is particularly practical when it comes to discussing that with certain members of a group without disturbing others, or having to recreate a new conversation. WhatsApp is aware of the success of voice messages by implementing this new tool. The application already offers several improvements for this type of message, including a tool that allows you to transcribe a written voice.
