How To Mute & Send Messages To A User During A WhatsApp Group Call
WhatsApp has updated its group calling feature with the ability to mute and message individual people. Earlier this year, WhatsApp rolled out a redesigned calling screen that arranges the names of the participants on the entire screen during group calls or the profile picture of the user during one-on-one calls. Since then, the platform hasn't launched any features that really take advantage of the new interface.
The Meta-owned messaging app also recently released a new privacy setting called 'My Contacts Except' that allows users to hide their profile picture, last seen, and status updates from specific contacts. Once set up and in use, it can be a good way to increase control over who can and cannot view a WhatsApp profile.

With the latest change, however, WhatsApp users are now gaining similar capabilities making it possible to mute a call participant in a noisy environment or send messages to other participants without having to exit the group call interface.
