WhatsApp is known for introducing new features to the platform through beta updates first. We saw major features like WhatsApp Pay, dark mode, disappearing messages, and customisable wallpapers this year coming to beta updates long before the stable rollout. Now, according to WABetainfo, WhatsApp is working on a beta version 2.21.10.23 for iOS users with several new features.

WhatsApp is working on a feature that will let users join calls at any time
Currently, if a user misses a video or voice call from their contacts, there is no way for them to join the ongoing call. However, the latest iOS beta update lets users join a call at any point. Apart from these features, the new beta update brings bug fixes like status update search bug, improved calls (voice, video and group), improved contact management, improved URL sharing, and more.
