How to leave a voice or video note in WhatsApp for missed calls

Step-by-step guide

• Make sure you’re running the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone.
• The feature is being rolled out globally, so check your app store for updates.

• Initiate a voice or video call as usual.
• If the recipient doesn’t answer, the call will end with a “Missed Call” screen.

• After the call is missed, WhatsApp will show an option to leave a voice or video note.
• This appears directly on the call screen, so you don’t need to navigate back into the chat window.

• Tap the microphone icon to record a voice note.
• Tap the camera icon to record a video note.
• Keep it short and clear—these notes are designed for quick updates.

• Once recorded, the note is attached to the missed call notification.
• The recipient can play it back later, just like a regular voice or video message.
