Social media giant, WhatsApp is working on a new feature for its desktop users. The new feature would enable WhatsApp users to be able to make voice and video calls using the WhatsApp Web. Currently, only the mobile version of the app supports voice and video calling. But soon, support for this feature will be extended for the desktop users as well. As per a report from 9to5 Google, whenever the users are engaged in a voice or video call using WhatsApp Web, users will see a floating window on their screen which will show the status of the call. Adding to this, the Android users will also get the support of face unlock very soon. More on the story ahead.
WhatsApp Web Users Can Make Voice and Video Calls Soon
WaBetainfo, development tracker of WhatsApp has said that the social media giant is testing this feature on the app Version 2.2034.7. When the testings are complete and the stable version of the update is out, users will be able to make voice and video calls directly from WhatsApp Web.
As per WaBetainfo, what’s interesting is that the users won’t even need to keep their smartphone connected to the internet all the time. Currently, to use WhatsApp Web, the user needs his/her smartphone to be connected with the internet. But now, users will be able to use their WhatsApp in four different devices at the same time and won’t even need the smartphone connected to the internet.
