WhatsApp has begun testing an important upgrade that will let users make voice and video calls in group chats on WhatsApp Web. The new feature is currently in development and could arrive in the coming weeks. This will bring WhatsApp Web closer to what people already enjoy on the mobile and desktop apps.
All About WhatsApp New Features
The aforementioned feature is support for voice and video calls inside group chats on WhatsApp Web. This means people will no longer need a mobile app or separate desktop software for group calls.
On the other hand, WhatsApp is also working on letting users create and share call links. These links can be sent to group members so they can join the calls easily.
Another useful tool in the works is scheduled calls. Users may be able to set a call time, add a brief description and share this with others in advance. Moreover, Early reports suggest WhatsApp might let up to 32 people join group calls on the web, similar to its mobile app limits.
What This Means For Users
Once launched, this update would make WhatsApp Web more useful for both personal and professional calls. Users who work on shared or office computers will be able to join meetings without needing to switch devices.
It is worth noting that WhatsApp has not yet confirmed an official release date. But many believe it could arrive soon as testing continues.
