WhatsApp now lets you schedule group calls
WhatsApp, the popular messaging app owned by Meta, has introduced new group calling features. The most significant update is the ability to schedule team calls in advance. Users can now access the "Calls" tab, press the "+" button, and choose "Schedule call" to set up future meetings and invite colleagues or friends. The "Calls" tab also allows users to keep track of upcoming meetings, view the attendees list, and access call links. These links can be added to calendar apps, and participants will receive alerts when it's time to join the call. Additionally, WhatsApp has added other features commonly found in workplace communication tools, such as the "raise your hand" option and the ability to send emoji reactions during calls. These features bring WhatsApp closer to platforms like Zoom and Google Meet, expanding its capabilities beyond its origins as a simple instant messaging app.
