The fragmentation that exists in Android, especially when it comes to the customizations used by many manufacturers, means that some features are not fully exploited. An example is Do Not Disturb mode, where there are problems for some applications to detect it. An example is WhatsApp, but it seems that the company is going to fix this. One of the failures that usually occur has to do with the voice calls that the messaging application allows -not so much with WhatsApp messages-. As the operation of the tool that we have mentioned is not standard in many cases, different problems can occur, ranging from Do Not Disturb not working to simply not knowing that a call has been made while this function was active. As well. It seems that the Meta proprietary form has found a way around this due to the use of a new API released by Google. A solution in WhatsApp that finally works When the Do Not Disturb function is activated, what you want is that nothing disturbs a moment of concentration and even sleep. But this does not mean that the user does not want to find out what has happened while nothing bothered him. And this is exactly what is being tested with the latest beta version of the messaging application. To date, the normal thing is that, if a call was received and not answered, it was reflected in the app as a lost one. Without further explanation. Thanks to the new API that exists in Android (not so new, but now is when WhatsApp uses it), it is detected if what happened happens when Do not disturb mode is active. And, in this way, when reviewing the chat of the specific contact, a message appears that makes it very clear. Even in the list of voice calls that you have in the development, and that is on the initial screen, a message is also included so that it is very clear. Good option, no doubt. By the way, the person making the call does not know in any way if Do Not Disturb is activated, since for him the only thing that happens is that he does not receive an answer. In other words, the information that we have discussed before is completely private. So there are no problems about it. A novelty in the testing phase As usual in WhatsApp, right now only those who have the version of the application that allows testing the novelties before they reach the stable app, can enjoy the function we are talking about (you must use 2.22.24.17 or higher for Android). Of course, it is not to be expected that it will take a long time to have the novelty available to everyone in a month at most, since we are talking about changes that are not particularly complex to integrate. Surely, for many, this change is most positive. >
