Joinable Calls will allow you to join an ongoing call if you failed to receive it initially. Using this feature, you can call up to 8 members at a time and see all the members on the screen. Moreover, WhatsApp also redesigned the call screen to show the list of participants in the ongoing call along with more features.
To recall, previously once you left the group call – you had to be added again in the call. Even more so, if you missed the group call initially. With the new feature, it will let users get back to a group called as long as it’s still on. WhatsApp will display the ongoing group calls on top of the calls tab. It will also indicate if it’s a video or voice call.

In addition, it brings the spontaneity and ease of in-person conversations to a group calling on WhatsApp. If you hit ‘ignore’ you can join later from the calls tab in WhatsApp.
