Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced two new features for WhatsApp.
Starting this week, WhatsApp will be rolling out call links so that users can share a link to start a call with a single tap.
This is similar to what Apple introduced in iOS 15 for FaceTime where iOS users can share a link to start FaceTime calls with friends.
WhatsApp is also testing secure encrypted video calling for up to 32 people.
End-to-end encryption is already implemented for text and voice messages, and audio and video calls.
