WhatsApp has rolled out exciting new calling features to make connecting with loved ones even easier during the holiday season. With over 2 billion calls made daily on the platform, these updates are designed to enhance the user experience across both desktop and mobile.
A key addition is the ability to select specific participants when starting a call from a group chat. This ensures you can dial only those you want without notifying the entire group, making it perfect for organizing surprises or private plans.
For video calls, WhatsApp now offers ten fun effects, allowing users to transform conversations with creative additions like puppy ears, underwater themes, or karaoke props. These effects add a playful touch to calls, bringing more personality to virtual gatherings.
Desktop users will enjoy improved functionality with a revamped calls tab, making it simpler to start calls, create links, or directly dial numbers.
Alongside this, both desktop and mobile users can benefit from better call quality, with higher resolution video and improved reliability for both one-on-one and group calls.
As WhatsApp continues to refine its features, these updates ensure a seamless and enjoyable way to stay connected with family and friends.
