WhatsApp is rolling out some new calling features.
One of the standout features being introduced is the ability to select specific participants when starting a call from a group chat.
For those who prefer to make calls on their desktop, WhatsApp has made it easier to start calls.
WhatsApp has become the go-to app for staying connected with friends and family, whether it’s for a quick chat or a long-distance call. With over 2 billion calls made on WhatsApp every day, it’s clear that the platform has become an essential part of how we communicate.
As we head into the holiday season, WhatsApp is rolling out some new calling features to make connecting with loved ones even easier and more fun.
Select participants for group calls
One of the standout features being introduced is the ability to select specific participants when starting a call from a group chat. This means you can now call exactly who you want without disrupting the rest of the group. This is perfect for moments like planning surprise parties or discussing presents in private, without everyone else hearing.
New effects for video calls
WhatsApp is also making video calls more enjoyable with ten new effects. These effects allow you to add playful touches to your calls, such as puppy ears, an underwater background, or even a microphone for a karaoke session. Whether you’re chatting with family or friends, these effects can add a fun twist to your conversations, making them more memorable.
