In the concept, an accidental WhatsApp call is prevented by a countdown feature

A idea is one of the most effective methods to give input about a new WhatsApp beta feature for Android, iOS, and Desktop. We previously presented a proposal for an improved tool to manage WhatsApp storage, and today we’d like to share our new concept with you: a countdown function to avoid accidental WhatsApp calls!

An idea is one of the most effective methods to give input about a new WhatsApp beta feature for Android, iOS, and Desktop.

After we place a WhatsApp call, a countdown begins: when the countdown concludes, WhatsApp may finally place the call. It would also be inconvenient to have to wait for 3 seconds to initiate the call; however, there may be some new ways to compel WhatsApp to start the call instantly without waiting for the countdown: For example, when you lift the smartphone to your ear and WhatsApp recognizes it through the proximity sensor, the app no longer waits for the countdown to reach zero and instantly initiates the call.
