WhatsApp is working on a slew of new features to enhance users’ experience on the platform. The Meta-owned instant messaging app recently released features like chat lock and silence unknown callers for its mobile app. Now, moving to its desktop users, the platform is reportedly releasing a new enhanced update for the video and audio calling feature for Windows app.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is gradually releasing an update for the Windows desktop app, which allows users to engage in video and audio calls with up to 32 individuals. Reports suggest that the update is currently available for beta testers and users with WhatsApp beta update 2.23.24.1.0. A screenshot shared by WABetaInfo shows that certain beta testers may receive a message inviting them to try group calling. The message highlights the feature of making video calls to contacts and groups directly from the Windows app, with support for up to 32 people.
In addition, the report reveals that with the new update, WhatsApp may also send certain users a different message offering the ability to make video calls with a maximum of 16 individuals. This feature incorporates the option to share screen content while engaged in video calls, which was previously announced in the WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2322.1.0 update. Moreover, upon installing the most recent app update, some beta testers may finally be granted access to video messages.
