WhatsApp Makes Improvements to Audio and Video Calls, New Features Coming to WhatsApp Calls

WhatsApp announced on Thursday that a series of upgrades to audio and video calls will be available soon, just in time for the holidays. According to Meta, users can expect improved call quality as well as some new features, so read on to find out what’s coming.
New features are coming to WhatsApp calls
“Calling on WhatsApp continues to grow in popularity around the world. Now, over 2 billion calls are made on WhatsApp every single day. Ahead of the holiday season, we’re introducing new calling features across desktop and mobile, so that connecting with your loved ones is easier than ever,” Meta said in a blog post.
First, WhatsApp will now allow users to initiate a call by selecting selected participants in a group conversation, allowing you to call specific persons without disturbing others. “Ideal for planning surprise parties or presents,” the company adds. Furthermore, Meta is integrating new camera effects for video chats to make conversations more enjoyable. The new effects include puppy ears, a karaoke microphone, and an underwater filter.
However, the quality of the calls is more important than any new effects. Meta said it is trying to improve the desktop calling experience so that customers may start calls from WhatsApp on their computers more simply. For video calls, the company offers a higher resolution stream for individual and group calls.
A few days ago, Meta announced that WhatsApp will soon stop working on some older iPhones, such as the iPhone 5s because the app will now require iOS 15.1 or later. The platform just made voice message transcription available to all users.
WhatsApp for iPhone and Mac is available for free from the App Store. To make use of the new features, ensure that you have the most recent version of the app installed.
