WhatsApp to Get Built-in Noise Cancellation for Voice and Video Calls

• WhatsApp is developing a built-in noise suppression feature for voice and video calls on Android devices.
• The feature was spotted in the latest beta version (2.26.11.8) of the app, aiming to improve call quality in noisy environments.
• Noise cancellation will automatically activate when a call begins, reducing background sounds like traffic, wind, and chatter.
• Processing occurs locally on the device, ensuring end-to-end encryption remains unaffected.
• Users will have manual controls to switch noise cancellation off, useful for intentional ambient sound sharing.
