WhatsApp has rolled out exciting updates to its calling features, making hatcommunication more manageable and enjoyable on both desktop and mobile. These updates focus on group calls, fun video effects, and enhanced functionality for desktop users.
New group calling options
Planning group calls is now simpler. WhatsApp allows you to select specific participants before starting a call, ensuring you only include those you need without disturbing everyone else in the group chat. This feature is perfect for organising surprise events, coordinating with family, or discreetly planning a group activity.
WhatsApp just got more entertaining by introducing 10 new effects. To spice up your conversations, you can add playful elements such as puppy ears, underwater animations, or a karaoke microphone. These effects are designed to bring joy and creativity to your chats, making video calls feel more personal and engaging.
Desktop calling gets a boost
Desktop users aren’t left behind in this update. WhatsApp has added a dedicated calls tab to its desktop app. This new feature lets you quickly start a call, create and share call links, or dial numbers directly from your computer. Additionally, video calls on desktops will now offer improved reliability and higher resolution, ensuring a seamless experience.
These new features are being rolled out gradually and will be available to all users in the coming weeks. To ensure you don’t miss out, update your WhatsApp to the latest version on your mobile or desktop.
