How does it works
When the feature is enable in the iPhone with iOS 15 in its device, the label will appear for all those s in the WhatsApp history which were missed by “do not disturb” mode.
For example – See, if you have enable the feature of do not disturb at a certain time or at a certain location, all the calls that you’ll miss on WhatsApp will get silenced at that time or location. Later in the WhatsApp call history, this new label will appear separately.

Eligibility for this feature
Of course you need an iPhone for this. Apart from that you should have iOS 15or above to run this feature. For now, iOS 16 isn’t available so ultimately this feature works only on iOS 15.
Moreover, the usage of this feature is only locally regulated.
Again the core benefit of this feature is that the one who is calling will never know that your phone was in do not disturb mode. It has its cons as well like your boss might think you are purposely missing his calls. But apart from work, this feature works great.
