GermanyMeta has expanded the features of WhatsApp by introducing web calls and several smaller updates. The most significant new feature allows users to make video calls directly through their browser, similar to Jitsi Meet, supporting both individual and group calls with up to 32 participants. These calls are end-to-end encrypted, have no time limits, and allow screen sharing, emoji reactions, and raising hands to get attention. Users can also share an invitation link. Additionally, WhatsApp will enable seamless transitions between smartphone and computer for calls, though the exact release date is unclear. Other features include a waiting room for calls and the ability to require permission before joining. Smaller improvements include noise suppression and QuickHD, which provides high-definition video quality early in calls.
