Summary
- WhatsApp is developing the ability to make voice and video calls from its web browser-based client, according to reports.
- At present, WhatsApp’s web clients are restricted to text-based messaging.
- The new features will enable users to make and receive voice and video calls wherever they have access to a web browser, making it more convenient and widespread.
- The new functionality is in addition to a recent update that provided a dropdown menu for voice and video calls within individual and group chats.
- Although the new features are still under development and no release date has been announced, they will provide functionality similar to that of Microsoft Teams and other communications platforms.
