Multiple outlets, including mint, are reporting that WhatsApp is poised to release an API dedicated to providing alerts for missed calls. This new API was first spotted by a Platform tracker who noticed its inclusion in upcoming releases.
The platform tracker, named WABetaInfo, noted that:
“WhatsApp is now rolling out a new feature that helps users understand why they missed calls: the support to detect when the do not disturb mode is enabled on WhatsApp beta for iOS,” WaBetaInfo continued by stating that “When you receive a WhatsApp call and your notifications are turned off because the do not disturb mode is enabled, there will be a new label available right within the call history: it will indicate that you missed the call since it has been silenced by the do not disturb mode.”
