Who doesn’t have WhatsApp installed on their mobile? It is one of the most widely used tools in the world. It has become a complete part of society and is part of our daily routine. We can chat individually with our list of people we’ve added to our mobile phone’s address book from anywhere, but we can also create groups so that our information reaches more people simultaneously. In addition, a new function for video calls will be available very soon.
Communication between users has taken a radical turn in recent years and WhatsApp is to blame for this. The appearance of the messaging application with the largest number of active accounts has revolutionized the way we contact our loved ones. So much so that you will know very few people who do not have this application downloaded on their smartphones.
Due to its popularity, the Meta app has a duty to guarantee the best possible experience, with quick, simple and convenient access, so that its use is as easy as possible. And to further increase interaction with all its options, the company is working on the inclusion of a new feature that will add a plus to video calls between chat groups. What is this addition and how does it work?
WhatsApp’s new feature for group video calls
As WhatsApp rolls out updates to its app, it is also increasing its list of features in testing phases so that users who are enrolled in the Android beta program on version 2.24.19.14 can get the most out of them. The latest incentive that the technology company is working on is to introduce a new option in group chats through the ability to create links within conversations for both voice and video calls and share them between groups.
Specifically, you will have the option to send a direct access link that will make it easier for group members to start a video call, thus adding greater flexibility for them to join when it suits them best. Therefore, this system is really useful when you have a large group of friends and some of them are busy at that precise moment, but, after a while, they are already available to access your request. Once the link has been created, the rest of the group members will receive it and can then join.
However, it should be noted that the creation of a call link has been available for some time in WhatsApp, so you can choose it in the Calls tab, but the novelty is that this same process can be done without leaving the chat.
WhatsApp is undoubtedly continuing to refine its techniques to make the use of its services as satisfactory as possible and to continue to discover ways to interact in a much more pleasant and enjoyable way. For the moment, we will have to wait for this improvement of the chat groups to finally pass the testing phase and for the green light to be given for its official launch in the Google store.
