WhatsApp Call Links Feature is Now Official; Here's How to Use It

WhatsApp calls are an easy and convenient way to connect to people. To make the experience better, the company has launched a new feature called Call Links. As the name indicates, this feature will let you create a link to a call and share it with people who you want to join the call. The invited participants can jump onto the call by just clicking or tapping the link.

This works for anyone using WhatsApp, even if the person isn't in your contacts list. The main aspect of this feature is that you have to send this link to yourself, otherwise you will not be able to join the call you created. Though it sounds like a simple feature, it is a pretty useful one.

WhatsApp Call Links Feature Rolling Out to Users

We have already come across several reports hinting that WhatsApp is working towards bringing this feature that will let users join calls even if they missed it while it was initiated. Similar services have had such functionality for a long time but despite being a behemoth in instant messaging, WhatsApp has delayed in rolling out this feature.

While announcing this feature, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of the Meta-owned instant messaging app WhatsApp, stated that the Call Links feature is currently being rolled out to users and might take a few days or a week to complete. He also revealed that the developer team at WhatsApp is testing the secure encrypted video calling for up to 32 people and more details will be out soon.
