WhatsApp Introduces Improved Desktop Calling Experience

News Desk

Islamabad: As the holiday season draws near, WhatsApp is unveiling several new calling features aimed at improving the way users connect with friends and family, whether for quick chats or longer discussions.

Group Call Participant Selection

One of the standout features is the ability to select specific participants when starting a call from a group chat. This update allows users to reach out to individual members without disrupting the entire group, making it ideal for private conversations, such as planning surprise events or discussing gifts.

Fun New Video Call Effects

WhatsApp is also adding ten new video call effects to spice up conversations. Users can now add playful elements like puppy ears, underwater backgrounds, or even a karaoke microphone, offering a fun and engaging way to connect with loved ones during calls.

Improved Desktop Calling Experience

For those who prefer using their desktop for calls, WhatsApp has streamlined the process. A new calls tab makes it easier to initiate calls, create call links, or dial numbers directly, providing a more seamless experience for users who prefer larger screens.

Enhanced Video Call Quality

In addition to these new features, WhatsApp is working to boost the overall quality of video calls. With improved reliability, higher resolution, and clearer visuals, both individual and group video calls will offer a more natural, in-person-like experience.

These new features are being rolled out gradually, so users who haven’t received them yet are encouraged to be patient.
