Background
iPhone users can easily place calls on WhatsApp using its new 25.23.82 update. The app now has a single call button instead of separate voice and video buttons. This update is meant to make calling simpler, especially in business and group chats, according to WABetaInfo.
In business chats, the new button brings all call options together. Users can start a voice call, video call, make a call link, or schedule a call from the same menu. This helps people avoid extra steps and makes talking to businesses faster. It also reduces accidental calls because users must confirm what type of call they want before it starts.
For group chats, the menu gives the same four options: video call, voice call, scheduling, and call link. Users can also pick which members join the call. This keeps conversations focused and avoids unnecessary interruptions. To make a call, users tap the button, select members, and choose voice or video.
Right now, this feature is rolling out for business and group chats. WhatsApp has not said if it will come to personal one-on-one chats yet.
In the new menu, WhatsApp has ensured that it will ease calling. Users can easily manage calls, group talks, and scheduled calls by consolidating all the call options in a single place. The update also provides a greater level of control over who can join, which makes group and business calls much easier and organized.
