Overview
- WhatsApp has started rolling out a noise-cancellation option to select Android beta users on version 2.26.14.1, with a new in-call toggle that is usually on by default.
- The feature filters traffic, wind, and crowd sounds in real time while keeping the speaker’s voice clear so conversations sound more natural.
- The upgrade is one-sided during mixed calls because it improves how others hear you, and your audio only gets cleaner if the other person has it too.
- Access is expanding in phases to more testers over the coming weeks, and WhatsApp has not given a date for a wider public release.
- WABetaInfo first spotted the test and is the primary source for details, while some outlets report the processing occurs on-device before encryption, a claim that has less independent confirmation.
