New Delhi: WhatsApp is going to roll out features like a ringtone for group calls, new sticker animation and user interface (UI) improvements for calls.

The new ringtone for Group Calls is available with the 2.20.198.11 update, WABetainfo said.

WhatsApp has also introduced a new type for animation stickers. The animation will play in a loop up to 8 times and will have a lesser loop time.

The messaging app is also looking forward to improving UI for voice calls. In the new UI, all the buttons are moved to the bottom of the display.

Additionally, WhatsApp is said to be working on revamping the calling screen as well. The Facebook-owned messaging app is mulling changes such as moving all the icons that are otherwise present in the middle of the screen to the bottom of the screen.
