Additionally, WhatsApp has enhanced its video calling feature by adding audio support for screen sharing. Previously, during screen sharing sessions, participants could only hear external audio captured by the microphone, with device audio missing. With the latest update, users can now share the screen as well as device audio, providing a more immersive experience during video calls. This feature mirrors a recent addition to the Android version of the app.
