WhatsApp boosts calls: web calls, transfer between devices and other new features arrive

whatsappWeb becomes a call center

WhatsApp has announced a major update that revolutionizes the calling experience on its platform. The most awaited innovation is the introduction ofWhatsApp web calls, which allow users to make and receive audio and video calls, both individual and group, directly from the browser via WhatsApp Web. This long-awaited feature eliminates the need to have the app installed on the main device, making it easier to participate in voice conversations and video calls, especially for those who mainly use the computer for work or study. WhatsApp Web will offer access to all the common features found on other platforms, including screen sharing, reactions and a dedicated call tab with complete history. The goal is to make it easier to access calls without having to leave the browser, a significant advantage for those who use work computers or cannot install additional applications.

Call transfer: fluidity between devices

In addition to web calls, WhatsApp introduces acall forwardingwhich allows users to move an active group call from one device to another without having to interrupt it. This innovation promises greater fluidity in using the app, allowing you to start a conversation on a smartphone and continue it without interruptions on a tablet or computer, or vice versa. The ability to transfer an active call between different devices represents a significant step forward for managing communications, especially in work contexts or when using multiple devices at the same time. The feature is designed to ensure that the user never loses track of the conversation, regardless of the device they are using at the time.

More news to improve calls

The WhatsApp update doesn't stop here. The "Waiting Room" function for group calls is also introduced. When you create a link for a call with "Require approval to join" enabled, participants will enter a virtual waiting room and must wait for approval from the host to join the conversation. This gives you more control over access to group calls. Furthermore, WhatsApp introduces QuickHD, which allows you to enjoy high definition video from the first seconds of the call, and Noise Suppression to improve voice clarity even in noisy environments. These additions aim to make calls on WhatsApp more stable, clear and manageable, further improving the overall user experience.

WhatsApp web calls - These updates confirm WhatsApp's commitment to continuously improving its communication features, placing increasing emphasis on the flexibility and quality of interactions, both voice and video. The integration of web calls and the ease of transfer between devices mark a turning point for the app, bringing it further closer to the needs of an increasingly connected and multi-device user.
