WhatsApp Call Links Feature Begins Widely Rolling Out: Report

Mark Zuckerberg had announced last month that WhatsApp is getting a Call Links feature. This feature allows users to invite people to a new call or allow them to join an existing call. A recent report suggests that WhatsApp has finally begun rolling out this feature to a wide user base. Notably, these links can allow up to 32 people to join a call at a time. In addition, the link is supposed to be valid for up to 90 days.

According to an Android Police report, WhatsApp has started rolling out the Call Link feature on a larger scale. The option to generate a Call Link is pinned at the top of the Calls tab. Gadgets 360 was also able to spot this feature on the latest stable Whatsapp for Android version.

Tapping the ‘Create call link’ option generates a unique call link that will be valid for up to 90 days. Here, you also get the option to pick between video or voice call types. There are also multiple sharing options in the menu. You can directly share the link via WhatsApp chat or copy/ share the link through other apps.

This feature appears to be absent from the desktop version of WhatsApp. Should you open a WhatsApp call link on your desktop, it redirects you to a page offering you other options to join the call from your phone. Here you can scan a QR code to join the call or copy the call link.

Mark Zuckerburg had announced this feature last month. The company had also begun testing a 32-member group call feature for WhatsApp, which is reportedly now available with the update. The app had already allowed users to add up to 32 members in a voice call.

WhatsApp Call Links Support Rolling Out, 32-Member Group Video Call Testing Also Begins

WhatsApp on Monday announced that it will roll out Call Links, a new feature that is designed to allow users to start a new call or join an ongoing call. A ‘Call Links’ option will be added within the Calls​​​ tab, and users can create a link for an audio or video call which can easily be shared on other platforms. The Meta-owned messaging service said that the feature will roll out later this week, but users will have to ensure that they are running the latest version of the app. Meanwhile, WhatsApp has also announced that it will soon begin testing group video calls for up to 32 participants on the messaging app.

In a post on social media platform Facebook, Zuckerberg announced that WhatsApp is rolling out the Call Links feature that allows users to create a link and share it across friends and family on the instant-messaging app. They can click the link and join the and join a call in just one tap — just like links for Google Meet or Microsoft Teams calls across platforms.

While the Meta-owned company explicitly did not mention which platforms will support the feature, the mention of the Calls tab suggests that it will be available on at least Android and iOS.

In order to create a link to a call, users can tap the Create call links option within the Calls Tab and create a link for an audio or video call and share it with family and friends. It is to be noted that the rollout will begin this week and you must have the latest version of the app to make a link.

Meanwhile, the company has also announced that it has begun testing group video calls for up to 32 participants on WhatsApp. Details of the feature will be shared soon.

It is to be noted that WhatsApp already lets you add up to 32 participants to group voice calls. The feature is available to users on both Android and iOS. Introducing video calls with support for up to 32 participants will be a step on its roadmap to expansion into the upcoming WhatsApp Communities feature, which is still in development.
