Good news for WhatsApp Web users! You can now make voice and video calls directly from your browser without downloading any additional apps. This new feature is particularly beneficial for those who primarily use WhatsApp on their laptops or desktops.
WhatsApp has introduced a highly anticipated feature for its millions of users. Now you can make voice and video calls directly on WhatsApp Web from your computer or laptop – without downloading any app.
WhatsApp Calling Now Available Without App Installation
Previously, WhatsApp Web was primarily used for messaging and chatting. Making calls required downloading the separate WhatsApp app for Windows or macOS. This is no longer necessary.
With the new WhatsApp Web update, you can now make voice and video calls directly from your browser – without installing any app.
This new feature is especially advantageous for those who work on laptops or desktops all day and use WhatsApp from the same device. They no longer need to constantly switch to their mobile phones or download additional apps to make calls. This feature saves time and streamlines workflow.
Where to Find the Calling Option?
The new calling option is currently being tested in the beta version, meaning the company is testing it with a limited number of users, according to a WABetaInfo report.
- When you open WhatsApp Web on your computer or laptop, you will see two small icons, a phone and a camera, in the top right corner of the chat window. These icons are located in the same place as in the mobile app – making them easily noticeable.
- The phone icon initiates voice calls, and the camera icon initiates video calls. This change is particularly beneficial for those who use WhatsApp from their laptops at the office or home and want to call directly from there.
- When will the feature be rolled out?
- WhatsApp is currently testing this new calling feature with a select group of users. However, the company plans to roll it out to all users soon.
- Once the final version is ready and all tests are successful, the update will appear on your WhatsApp Web. You will then be able to make voice or video calls directly from your browser without installing any separate app or extension.
- This feature will be highly beneficial for those who spend a lot of time on computers or laptops and use WhatsApp from those devices. It saves time and improves the calling experience.
New Privacy Feature in WhatsApp: Enhanced Chat Security
- WhatsApp has not only added the new calling feature but also introduced a new update to strengthen user privacy: the Advanced Chat Privacy feature.
- This feature allows users to prevent others from exporting their chats. It prevents unauthorized sharing of your chats with others.
- This is particularly beneficial for users who want to keep their conversations private and prevent leaks. WhatsApp's new security feature makes your chats more private and secure.
Why is this WhatsApp Web Update Special?
WhatsApp's latest update offers several advantages for users. Most significantly, it eliminates the need to download a separate app for calling. Previously, installing the WhatsApp app for Windows or Mac was necessary; now, you can make voice and video calls directly from your web browser.
This is especially useful for those who work on computers or laptops all day in an office setting and use WhatsApp from their work devices. Additionally, the new update enhances the security of chats and data, keeping your personal conversations safe.
This not only saves time but also simplifies the user interface. Overall, this new feature makes your WhatsApp experience smarter and more convenient.
