Google Meet Noise Cancellation Now on Mobile
Google Meet is rolling out its AI-powered noise cancellation feature to mobile apps on iOS and Android, expanding a function that had previously been web-only since June. The technology identifies and filters background noise from the microphone input while preserving the user's voice for clearer calls. The rollout began yesterday, with full availability potentially taking 1–3 days. Access is limited to users on G Suite Enterprise or Enterprise for Education, and the feature is not yet available in all countries (notably South Africa and the United Arab Emirates). Users can learn how to enable the setting via the Google Meet Help center. This mobile deployment enhances Meet's collaboration capabilities by reducing ambient distractions during video calls.

WhatsApp tests noise cancellation for clearer calls
WhatsApp is rolling out an active noise-cancellation feature for voice and video calls, aimed at filtering background sounds (traffic, wind, construction) to improve speech clarity. Reported by WABetaInfo and covered by t3n, the technology distinguishes disruptive noises from a speaker’s voice and suppresses them automatically. The feature is currently in Android beta and being distributed to a limited set of testers; it can be toggled during calls via an in-call button. Optimal results require both call participants to enable the suppression, since the filter only improves audio for users who have it activated. No firm public release date for wide Android or iOS availability has been announced, but WhatsApp expects to include it in a future regular update after testing completes.
WhatsApp tests noise cancelling for calls
WhatsApp is rolling out an active noise-cancelling feature for voice and video calls to improve call clarity by filtering background sounds. According to WABetaInfo and reporting from t3n, the technology distinguishes interfering noises from a speaker’s voice and suppresses them automatically. The feature is currently in testing in the WhatsApp beta for Android and is being distributed to a limited set of beta testers. Testers can toggle noise cancellation during a live call via a button in the call UI. For optimal effect both call participants must enable the feature. No timeline has been announced for broader availability on Android or iOS.
WhatsApp tests noise-cancelling for clearer calls
WhatsApp is developing a "Noise Cancellation" feature intended to reduce ambient sounds during voice and video calls, providing listeners with a clearer voice feed. According to WABetaInfo and reporting by t3n, the function records and filters out background noise such as wind, traffic and nearby conversations so primarily the speaker’s voice is transmitted. The feature is expected to benefit Android users most, since iOS devices already offer system-level voice isolation that WhatsApp uses. Noise Cancellation will be automatically enabled at call start with an in-call notice and an option to disable it. The capability is in active development with internal testing; public beta trials are planned later.
