"You may instantly message or mute any participant on a group conversation," stated WABetaInfo. "In particular, the option to silence specific persons on a call is quite beneficial when someone forgets to mute themselves. Note that the ability to mute is not restricted to the person who established the call: anybody can mute," it added.
