WhatsApp, the globally popular messaging platform, is set to roll out a series of new calling features aimed at enhancing user experience. These updates are designed to provide users with more control and flexibility during voice and video calls.
Key Updates
- Call Links: Users can now create and share call links, allowing others to join a call with a single tap. This feature simplifies the process of connecting with multiple participants, making group calls more accessible.
- Mute and Message Participants: During a call, users have the option to mute specific participants or send them a direct message. This functionality is particularly useful in larger group calls, enabling better management of conversations.
- Banner Notifications: When someone joins a group call, a banner notification will appear, informing all participants of the new addition. This ensures that everyone is aware of who is present in the call.
User Reactions
Early feedback from beta users has been positive, with many appreciating the increased control and streamlined interface. One user commented, “The new features make coordinating group calls so much easier. The call link option is a game-changer for our team meetings.”
Availability
These features are expected to be included in the upcoming update, scheduled for release in the coming weeks. Users are advised to keep their app updated to take advantage of the new functionalities.
