Previously, if you tried calling someone already on a WhatsApp call, it would just show “calling.” Now, with the recent update, it will correctly display “is on another call.”
Ever thought about what occurs when you’re talking on WhatsApp, and another person from your WhatsApp contacts calls you too? This happens a lot and makes you wonder about your status on the app.
In this article, we’ll tell you what the second caller sees if you’re thinking about trying to call someone who might be on another WhatsApp call.
If I’m On Whatsapp Call And Another Person Calls Me On Whatsapp, What Status Will They Get?
When you try to call a friend on WhatsApp, and they’re already talking to someone else on WhatsApp, your call won’t work.
If you’re talking to a friend on your regular phone and someone else tries to call you, they’ll get a busy signal, right? Well, on WhatsApp, it’s a bit like that but not exactly.
Even if your friend is online on WhatsApp and has a good internet connection, the call won’t go through like it normally does.
Instead of seeing the usual “Ringing” status, which tells you that your friend is available and connected to the internet, all you see is “calling.” [check the important notice below].
It’s confusing because you can’t tell if your friend is ignoring you, having internet problems, or simply not online.
Now, let’s talk about what happens when someone has internet issues during a call. Usually, you’d see a status like “Reconnecting,” showing that there’s a problem with the internet, but you’re still connected.
However, when your call just shows “calling” without any other status, it’s like the person is not even online on WhatsApp – it’s as if there’s no internet connection at all.
WhatsApp doesn’t give you clear signals like “busy,” “not reachable,” “currently not available,” or “switched off.” Those status messages are what you’d get with a regular phone call, not one that needs the internet.
So, in simple terms, if your friend on WhatsApp is already in a conversation with someone via voice call, your call won’t connect, and you won’t get the usual hints about what they’re up to. It’s like knocking on a door, but instead of hearing someone say they’re busy, it just stays silent, leaving you wondering what’s going on.
Here’s An Important Notice [Just Updated]:
We just discovered a special case. WhatsApp has changed how call statuses appear in the latest app versions.
Previously, if you tried calling someone already on a WhatsApp call, it would just show “calling.” Now, with the recent update, it will correctly display “is on another call.”
For example, if you call Mr. A while he’s on a call with Mr. B, the status will be “Mr. A is on another call.”
In Summary
When your friend on WhatsApp is on another call and you’re trying to call them, things usually get confusing. No usual “Ringing” – just a simple “calling.” No clear signs if they’re busy, offline, or dealing with internet issues.
