WhatsApp Calls<\/a> are getting a major update with several new features designed to make audio and video communication easier across devices. The latest rollout introduces web calling, call transfer between devices, waiting rooms for group calls, instant HD video, and background noise suppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this update, users can now make and receive one-on-one and group audio and video WhatsApp Calls directly from WhatsApp Web. The feature works without requiring users to download the desktop application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The browser-based calling experience is designed for people using shared computers, work laptops with download restrictions, or those who simply prefer accessing WhatsApp through a web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, WhatsApp Web includes features already available on mobile and desktop. These include screen sharing, emoji reactions, a dedicated Calls tab, full call history, and favorite contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, all calls made through WhatsApp Web remain end-to-end encrypted. They also have no time limits and do not incur additional costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another addition is call transfer between devices. Users can now move an active group call from a smartphone or tablet to WhatsApp Web or Desktop without disconnecting. Likewise, they can transfer the call back to a mobile device when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WhatsApp is also introducing a waiting room for group calls. When users create a call link with the “Require approval to join” option enabled, participants will enter a waiting room until they are approved by the host. The feature gives users greater control over who joins a group call and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the company has improved video quality at the start of calls with QuickHD. The enhancement enables high-definition video within the first few seconds of a call, delivering a smoother experience from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, WhatsApp<\/a> Calls now include background noise suppression. The feature reduces surrounding noise so voices remain clear, even in busy or noisy environments. Users can enable or disable the setting at any time during a call through the in-call settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to WhatsApp, these features are rolling out gradually and will become available to all users in the coming weeks. The company said the latest WhatsApp Calls enhancements are intended to deliver a simpler, more private, and seamless calling experience across web, desktop, and mobile devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
