WhatsApp Web: WhatsApp, one of the most popular instant messaging programs, is finally addressing a long-standing issue for its users. WhatsApp Web will now have a new voice and video calling function. The feature is now available to beta testers and will eventually be made available to everyone . This means that you no longer need to install the desktop program to make a call; instead, you may do it directly from your browser. If you ask me, that is a major thing.
New functionality for beta testers.
Currently, just a few WhatsApp online beta testers can test the new video and voice calling features on the online version. But it will not last long, and more users will be able to gain access in the following weeks.
WhatsApp Web: What’s New?
If you are one of the chosen beta testers, a call symbol will appear in the top-right corner of your chat windows. Simply click it to initiate an immediate audio or video call. It works similarly to your phone or the desktop app. For the time being, one-on-one calls are the only option; there is no news on when group calls will be available.
The good news is, it doesn’t end there. WhatsApp has indicated that these online calls use end-to-end encryption, utilizing the same Signal system that they have relied upon for years.

So you don’t have to be concerned about your privacy, even if you’re conversing in your browser. Additionally, there is screen sharing. That is ideal for work meetings, tutoring sessions, or collaborating with others when you are not in the same room.

Until today, WhatsApp Web was rather basic—it only allowed you to text and share files. To call someone, you needed to install the Windows or Mac program. This latest version allows you to skip all of that, which is especially useful if you’re running Linux or utilizing a shared computer.
It is part of Meta’s larger ambition to make WhatsApp work on any device.
WhatsApp is focusing on Close Friends for status updates
Not only that, but the instant messaging platform is developing a Close Friends feature for status updates, as well as a premium subscription that might provide new personalization and productivity capabilities to app users.
So, if you use WhatsApp frequently, things may improve for a better experience and more engaging content.
