This is how to make calls with the Protect IP Address enabled.
This makes sure that other call participants cannot deduce the user's approximate geographic location by knowing their IP address. According to the WhatsApp blog article, this update provides an additional degree of protection and privacy, targeting users who are particularly concerned about their privacy. WhatsApp has included a new privacy option called "Protect IP Address in Calls" to allay this worry. After this is configured, individual calls are routed through a server instead of P2P connections, which effectively hides your IP address from other users. Note that this server-based relay has always been utilised for group calls and is now also used for individual calls.
- Open WhatsApp and select the Settings option.
- Choose Privacy and then Advanced.
- Find and choose the 'Protect IP address in the calls' option.

In group call ip was not visible, but in peer to peer it was. Some person with technical knowledge can see ip. There are articles on google.
