When a call goes unanswered, users will see a “Record voice message” shortcut on the call screen, alongside the usual “Call again” and “Cancel” buttons.

This prompt also appears directly in the chat where the missed call occurred, allowing users to quickly leave a voice note—a faster, more natural way to communicate without navigating back through the conversation. The voice note is sent automatically within the chat, while the missed call notification remains visible, ensuring both are clearly noted by the recipient.

This feature is especially useful in emergency situations, as it streamlines communication in a way that allows users to leave callers a short, context-aware voice message immediately after a call goes unanswered.

Currently, it s available only to select beta testers on Android, with no confirmed public release timeline from WhatsApp.
