We already thought WhatsApp calls were convenient — but the platform just raised the bar. Whether it’s running a quick work meeting, catching up with friends, or organizing a family get-together, the latest update brings smart, user-friendly tools that reshape how we talk online. Let’s break it down.

Plan calls ahead — no more « When are we calling? » 🗓️

Those endless “When works for you?” exchanges are over. WhatsApp is rolling out a new ➕ button in the Calls tab that lets you schedule calls in advance, invite participants, and see everything lined up at a glance. Even better: everyone gets a reminder notification right before the call starts. Setting up a call has never been this effortless.

Share call links like a pro 🔗

Managing call invites just got smoother. You can now create a call link, drop it straight into your calendar, or share it with others in seconds. And here’s the clever part: the host gets a notification every time someone joins. That means you’ll never miss a late arrival — and you keep control over who’s in the conversation.

Group calls, but smoother 🎤

WhatsApp is upgrading the group call experience with features designed to keep conversations flowing. Participants can now “raise their hand” to signal they want to speak — no more awkward interruptions. Instant reactions are also built in, so you can engage without breaking the rhythm. It’s a more natural way to stay interactive, even in a big group.

Security stays the same — rock solid 🔒

All these changes land without sacrificing privacy. End-to-end encryption still applies to every call, no matter how many participants join or which new features you’re using. Your conversations remain private, period.

A step closer to the perfect call 🚀

With scheduling, interactivity, and smarter notifications, WhatsApp is steadily polishing its calling experience for our always-on, always-connected lives. The question is: will it change your habits? One thing’s for sure — organizing your next call just got a whole lot easier.
