The feature is now available in Whatsapp for IOS
WhatsApp for iOS has reportedly started getting group audio calling feature. The WhatsApp feature is available on iOS version 2.18.60 for limited devices, maybe because right now this feature is released for test run so limited number of users are able to use it. The number of participants that will be able to join the WhatsApp group audio call is not yet clear and we will have to wait for an official confirmation to know more. Moreover, WhatsApp for Android beta users has also received a new Select all feature that lets users select multiple chats at a time to delete, mute, mark as unread, etc.

Group voice calls feature was also reported by some users on the 2.17.70 Android beta WhatsApp update in October last year and It was assumed that WhatsApp could release the feature this year. The interface of group audio call will likely remain similar to individual call UI with profile pictures of participants on top and options to enable speaker, video call, and mute at the bottom.
WhatsApps Select all feature for Android beta is available on version 2.18.60 or above. It is available for beta testers only, but it seems to be included in next update for the general public soon.
