San Francisco, May 15 (IANS) A new group calling feature for macOS devices is allegedly being rolled out by Meta-owned WhatsApp and will enable users to initiate group conversations with a predetermined number of participants.
According to WABetaInfo, it was previously impossible to begin a group call because the button was either blocked or wasn’t working on macOS.
The call buttons (audio and video) have now been made available in the most recent WhatsApp beta update, allowing users to initiate a group call.
The new function will also enable users to make a new group call with those who are not currently in the same group, according to the article.
Simply select the Create Call option under the Calls tab.
By choosing the individuals they want to include in the call in this portion of the app, users can start a new group call.
The ability to make group calls within other groups, in addition to all other changes, is reportedly accessible to select beta testers.
According to reports, WhatsApp is developing a broadcast channel discussion for Android that would have 12 new capabilities.
A full-width message interface, verification status, follower count, mute notification toggle, handles, real follower count, shortcuts, channel description, mute notification toggle, visibility status, privacy, and reporting are among the features.
