WhatsApp, which is used by billions of people worldwide for messaging and calling, is preparing to make its Web version more powerful.
For a long time, group voice and video calling features were available only on the mobile app and desktop app. Now, these features are expected to arrive on WhatsApp Web as well.
This update will be especially useful for users who work on a laptop or computer and prefer making calls directly from the browser instead of switching to their phones.
Current Limitations of WhatsApp Web
At present, WhatsApp Web mainly supports text chats, status viewing, and notification management. Calling features are still limited to the mobile and desktop applications.
However, Meta is reportedly working to expand WhatsApp Web’s capabilities so users can manage conversations in a more flexible and efficient way directly through the browser.
What Will Change With Group Calling on WhatsApp Web?
According to recent reports, WhatsApp Web is preparing to introduce group voice and video calling directly in the browser. This means users will no longer need to download the desktop app to make or join calls.
With this change, WhatsApp Web could become a strong alternative to platforms like Zoom and Google Meet, especially for casual meetings and team discussions.
Key Benefits of the New Group Call Feature
1. Group Calls Directly From the Browser
Users will be able to start or join group voice and video calls directly on WhatsApp Web, similar to how it works on the mobile app.
2. Call Link Creation
WhatsApp Web may allow users to generate a call link that can be shared with others. People can join the call even if they are not active in the chat at that moment, which is helpful for large group meetings.
3. Scheduled Calling Option
Another expected feature is call scheduling. Users may be able to set a call name, description, and time in advance and notify participants like an event. This will be very useful for planned meetings and discussions.
