WhatsApp Adds In-Call Microphone Mode Switching for iPhone Users
WhatsApp is introducing a feature for iPhone users that allows switching between Apple's microphone modes directly from the in-call screen, eliminating the need to access the Control Centre.

The rollout is gradual, with wider availability expected in the coming weeks, and users may need the latest app and iOS versions to access all modes.
