WhatsApp Update
WhatsApp has finally introduced yet another update which allows the users to schedule calls in advance for both personal and professional conversations. With an aim to enhance the calling experience, the Meta owned instant messaging platform has confirmed that the update is rolling out globally and will be available to all the users in the coming days.
Talking about the specifics, the new Scheduled feature will allow users to pre-plan a group or one on one call and even set time and date. The users will also be able to invite individuals or entire groups. All the participants will get a reminder notification about the call before the call officially begins.
Not only that, the most used platform in the world has also introduced in-call interaction tools like raise hand option to signal when you want to speak. It also has bright emoji reactions to engage without interrupting the conversation.
WhatsApp has also made improvements to the Calls tab for easier management. It now displays upcoming calls, attendee lists, and allows users to share invitation links. Call creators will also be notified if someone joins through a shared link.
Additionally, the company confirmed that calls, like messages, will be protected by end-to-end encryption. Here is how to schedule the call.
Navigate to the Calls tab after opening WhatsApp.
Choose a contact or group by tapping the call icon.
Select Schedule Call rather than begin right away.
Decide on the call type (audio or video), date, and time.
To confirm, tap the green button.
All participants will receive a reminder prior to the scheduled call starting, and it will show up in your list of upcoming calls.
