Yes, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to decline incoming calls with a message through the app. This feature is expected to be available for both voice and video calls.
Currently, when a WhatsApp user receives a call within the application, they only have two options – to accept the call or to decline it. If they choose to decline the call, the caller is not given any indication as to why the call was declined.
With the new feature, users will be able to decline a call and also send a pre-written message to the caller, such as “I’m busy, can’t talk right now” or “Can we chat later?” This will give callers more information about why their call was declined and allow for easier communication between users.
This new feature is expected to be rolled out in future updates of WhatsApp, although no specific timeline has been given. It is worth noting that the feature is still in development, so it may undergo changes before it is released to the public.
