WhatsApp is used by crores of people daily, and the company frequently introduces new features to make the app more convenient for users.
The latest update includes an in-app dialer, which will allow users to make phone calls directly from the app. This feature is currently being tested with iOS beta users.
Benefits of the New Dialer Feature
Previously, to call someone on WhatsApp, users had to save their contact number. With the new dialer feature, this will no longer be necessary.
Users can dial any number on the numeric dialer and make an internet-based call, without saving the contact.
This feature will first be available for iPhone users and will gradually be rolled out to all users.
Reduced Dependence on Phone Dialer
Once this feature is available, users will rely less on their phone’s built-in dialer and will make calls directly through WhatsApp.
This will also benefit WhatsApp, as people will spend more time using the app. However, the person receiving the call must also have WhatsApp installed on their phone.
Improved Video Quality on WhatsApp
WhatsApp has also improved video quality for both mobile and desktop users.
Now, video calls will have better quality, and several new effects have been added to enhance the video call experience.
Less Reliance on Phone Dialers
Once this feature is available, people will rely less on their phone’s dialer. This will encourage users to spend more time on WhatsApp, benefiting the app.
WhatsApp will become more central for calling, as users will make calls directly through it.
However, the person receiving the call will also need to have WhatsApp installed on their phone.
