Users can tap the 'Call Links' option within the Calls Tab and create a link for an audio or video call and share it easily with family and friends. People will need the latest version of the app to use Call Links as the rollout begins this week.
Reports surfaced in April that in a bid to make group calling better, Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp will soon support up to 32 participants in group voice calls.
The update includes a redesigned interface with a social audio layout, speaker highlight, and waveforms. In July, WhatsApp rolled out a new feature where the users can join a group video or voice call even after its started, and you see the participants in a video call screen the way you see on various communication apps.
WhatsApp now supports up to 32 participants in group calling. Voice calling uses your phone’s internet connection rather than your mobile plan’s minutes. Data charges may apply. When you receive a group voice call, the incoming WhatsApp group voice call screen will show the participants on the call.
WhatsApp said that the 'Join able calls' reduce the burden of answering a group call as it starts, and brings the spontaneity and ease of in-person conversations to group calling on WhatsApp. If someone in your group misses a call when the phone rings, they can still join whenever they like. You can also drop-off and re-join so long as the call is still ongoing. For over 400 million users in India, WhatsApp video calls are an easiest medium to connect to their loved ones especially in the social distancing times.
