WhatsApp has announced that it is working on a new audio chats update, as per a recent blog post in Wabetainfo. The update is under development and is expected to be rolled out for the WhatsApp beta for Android.
As per the screenshot, a new waveforms icon will be added to the chat header, allowing users to initiate audio chats. However, there is no official communication on how it will work.

In the screenshot, there is a red button for ending ongoing calls, and there appears to be some additional space available. Since the waveform icon implies the capability of real-time audio visualisation, it is plausible that the space above the chat header could be reserved for displaying audio waveforms.
