WhatsApp is making it easier to invite people to conference calls.
WhatsApp has launched a new feature that should make inviting people to audio chats simpler. Call Links is a new feature that works similarly to invite links in Zoom, Google Meet, and other conferencing applications.
This tool, as the name implies, allows you to generate links that you may share with others to invite them to calls. Tapping on the link will take you directly into a call, even if you don’t have the person in your contacts. As expected, this would not function for folks who do not have WhatsApp.
Call Links is a minor feature that is already present on a number of social applications. However, since WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging programmes in the world, it should be much simpler for a lot more users to get into calls without any additional procedures. It just denotes the addition of convenience rather than additional functionality.
Call Links is now being rolled out, according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and the process might take a few days or perhaps a week to finish. He also said that WhatsApp’s development team is working on other privacy features, such as end-to-end encryption for video conversations with up to 32 participants.
Tablets with WhatsApp
In related news, WhatsApp is working on making it possible to utilise a tablet as a secondary device. This will be enabled via the multi-device functionality, which will allow you to link your primary smartphone to a tablet through a QR code.
It operates similarly to WhatsApp Desktop in that you must scan a QR code shown on a secondary device with your phone, which will sync all of your conversations and data between the two.
