WhatsApp updates calling feature for smoother experience

WhatsApp is rolling out a new call menu feature for both individual and group chats, aiming to improve the user experience.

The latest update, currently available to select Android beta testers via the Google Play Store, replaces the previous voice and video call buttons with a single call button.

Tapping this button opens a menu that allows users to choose between a voice or video call.

Additionally, the new call menu provides a shortcut to generate and share a call link, making it easier to invite others to join.

In group chats, users can now select specific members to call instead of ringing the entire group.

This update is part of WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to enhance its calling features and streamline communication for users. Further rollouts are expected in the coming weeks.
