WhatsApp had earlier confirmed about the group voice calls. The new beta update too hints of group video and voice call in the app.The beta update doesn't allow the users to switch between voice and video calls, which suggests that it might bring a group voice and group video call option and hence has stopped the support to switch between voice and video calls.The new update also shows a new layout for the GIF button and an option to manage groups that allows the admin to demote or remove a person from a group.WhatsApp recently rolled out the 'Reply Privately" feature by mistake on the beta version of the Android app. The feature allows a user to respond to another user in the group without other group members knowing about it. The feature was later dropped from the beta version of the app.
