Meta (formerly Facebook) announced the availability of a novelty for group calls made on WhatsApp. Very soon, it will be possible to share links to directly access these conversations.
The news was given by Mark Zucherberg, CEO of Meta. Through a publication on the social network Facebook, its founder also announced the availability of end-to-end encryption for group calls of up to 32 participants.
It has never been so easy to add more people to WhatsApp group calls
The novelty announced by Zucherberg aims to streamline the process of adding new participants to any group call on WhatsApp. This process can now be done through a link that you can share with your contacts.
After starting a group call, you can generate a link to share with the contacts you want to add. Invitees will just have to click that link to join the conversation.
This is a simple process that will require invitees to simply tap on the call they received. After clicking on that link, they will be automatically forwarded to the group call in question.
This method will allow you to add new items to any group call without having to restart that conversation. Also, allow members who are not part of that specific group to occasionally participate in these conversations.
First of all, users will need to install the latest version available on WhatsApp on their smartphone. Then go to the Calls tab and create a connection from the Call Connection option.
It is important to emphasize that this novelty will apply to video calls and voice calls. In addition, I emphasize that its availability will occur over the next few weeks, so it may not be available in your account yet.
Call encryption with up to 32 participants
Another of the news that Mark Zucherberg gives focuses on the issue of privacy. Strictly speaking, the platform’s end-to-end encryption will also cover group calls with up to 32 participants.
This means that all interactions that take place on these calls will be away from prying eyes. Whether from WhatsApp’s own management body with third parties to the communications platform.
