Whatsapp has a "voice chat" feature, similar to Slack's huddle.
Problem: when you start a voice chat then stop, it leaves a "message" row that says "voice chat", with the duration the voice chat was active.
So folks in the WhatsApp group see this later, and, being unfamiliar with it, click on it thinking it's an audio message. Which restarts a voice chat with just them. They're alone so they leave after a few seconds. This leaves another message row that just says "voice chat". Rinse & repeat
