Key New Features in WhatsApp Beta:
- Unified Call Hub: The most significant change is the introduction of a centralized “Call Hub” within the main Calls tab. This single, intuitive interface consolidates all call-related actions, allowing users to:
- Initiate calls.
- Schedule future calls.
- Access a dedicated dialer.
- Manage favorite contacts for instant calling.
- Quick Access and Scheduling: A new shortcut (often appearing as a “+” button) has been added for fast communication:
- Group Calls: Quickly start a group call with up to 31 participants.
- Scheduling: Users can now schedule calls in advance, both for one-on-one and group chats, with the event details and a reminder link shared directly in the chat.
- Dedicated Dialer: The inclusion of a dedicated dialer simplifies the process of calling any number registered on WhatsApp, even if the number hasn’t been saved as a contact on the device.
- Enhanced Business Verification: A boost to trust and security, the update includes enhanced verification for business accounts. This feature confirms whether a phone number is officially linked to a verified WhatsApp Business account, providing users with greater confidence when communicating with professional profiles.
These changes are currently rolling out to beta testers and aim to streamline the user experience, making the Calls tab a more efficient communication center for both personal and professional use.
