WhatsApp Calls Are About to Get a Lot Better with Noise Cancellation

The option filters ambient sound in real time and is rolling out to some Android beta testers, with broader availability expected in coming weeks.

  • WhatsApp has introduced a noise cancellation feature for Android voice and video calls, allowing select beta testers to filter out background sounds during conversations.
  • The system works in real-time to isolate the speaker's voice from ambient noise like traffic or wind, improving clarity in busy surroundings without affecting voice quality.
  • Users can toggle the feature through the calling menu, though it only improves outgoing audio; both participants need the feature enabled for optimal call clarity.
  • Processing occurs locally on the device before encryption, ensuring WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption remains intact while users manage their own call quality preferences.
  • Gradually, the update is reaching Android beta testers via the Google Play Store in phases, though the company has not yet announced a timeline for wider release.
