After working fine for a couple of years, now whatsapp desktop is a problem - but not for me, for the person on the other end, who hears a full echo of everything they say.
I don't hear any echo. And, when I try the same call on my mobile instead of desktop, no problem.
This is recent, only the past 10 days or so.

Same problem here, also started around January.
Both on Video and Audio call.
No issues on Microsoft Teams, Skype, Telegram, Discord.
Problem persists with different microphones -even directional ones which are not supposed to pick up audio beind the microphone.
Problem persists even after reinstalling WhatsApp.
May 2025 and still struggling with this issue. Surprisingly this is only happening when we turn on video call on whatsapp. If using audio call, it works fine and no echo for the other side.
They don't seem to care (or possibly, even know) about this issue.
I am now switching to Signal but it will take a while to migrate everyone.

This is a WhatsApp issue. Version 2.2502.3.0 was released in Jan 20th and had this bug. I rolled back to 2.2447.5.0 from Dec 6th and there's no echo back down to the caller. WhatsApp latest release 2.2504.2.0 released on Feb 3rd still has this bug. I've tried contacting WhatsApp support but can't get a human response, just the auto generated AI answers which hasn't been of any use.
Hope this helps someone.
This just started happening for me last week, dont know why now when it seems to have started for all of you back in January. I will say, I contacted WhatsApp support and they were swift and harsh in their response- they will not provide support for calling issues. Which I thought was pretty bad support, and quite frustrating.
