New Whatsapp Video Call Feature
Whatsapp can offer a new option to close your camera during your upcoming video call. This feature has been seen by Android Authority on WhatsApp beta version (2.25.7.3 for Android). When you are receiving video calls, you will see the option of “Close your video”. If you tap on this option, the camera will turn off and the call will only be a voice call. You can disable the video call only after accepting the call. You can’t do it in advance. When you choose to turn off your video, Whatsapp shows the same call.
Other information
Whatsapp opens directly on your front camera when you receive video calls. When the phone rings, you also get preview of your front camera. The new feature is seen as a way to protect the user’s privacy, if they receive video calls from unknown numbers. Ideally, you should not accept voice or video calls from unknown numbers, but if you still do this, this feature can be helpful. This feature can also be useful for video calls from your contacts, if you are ever in a situation where you cannot turn your camera. To completely avoid all this, you can turn this feature on WhatsApp that silences the call from unknown numbers. It will still appear in your call list, but if this feature is capable.
