WhatsApp may soon make voice and video calls clearer with a new noise cancellation feature.

SurveyHow WhatsApp’s noise cancellation feature works
Noise cancellation identifies unwanted background sounds and filters them out while keeping the speaker’s voice clear, according to the report. The feature works in real time. Some beta testers can see a new option in the calling menu that allows them to manage noise reduction. In most cases, the feature is enabled by default.
It’s important to note that while the feature improves the clarity of your voice for the person on the other side of the call, it does not necessarily improve the sound you hear unless the other participant also has the feature enabled.
