WhatsApp Web finally gets support for audio and video calls
WhatsApp Web has introduced audio and video calling features, including screen sharing and a dedicated calls tab. These updates also include noise suppression and the ability to transfer calls between devices seamlessly.
Why it matters
This update brings feature parity between the desktop web client and mobile applications, improving productivity and communication accessibility for users.
Today WhatsApp is rectifying one of the major shortcomings of its web client, as it now finally supports audio and video calls. Obviously, this requires no download or installation, as it is part of WhatsApp Web, which has also gained support for screen sharing, reactions, and a dedicated Calls tab with your full call history and favorites.
Like everywhere else on WhatsApp, the calls you make on WhatsApp Web are end-to-end encrypted, and have no time limits or costs. You can now also move a call from one device to another without having to hang up and start a new one. This works from the mobile app to WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop and vice versa.
