WhatsApp is rolling out voice and video calling on the web, expanding its browser experience beyond messaging. The update means users can place and receive calls from WhatsApp Web instead of relying only on the mobile app or desktop software.
Alongside web calling, WhatsApp is also introducing new calling tools, including call transfer and a waiting room. Those additions suggest the company is putting more focus on making calls feel like a fuller communication feature rather than a basic add-on to chats.
The web launch could be useful for people who spend most of their day in a browser and want to switch between messages and calls more easily. Bringing voice and video support to WhatsApp Web also helps the service better match the flexibility users expect across phones, desktops and browsers.
While the trimmed report does not detail every part of the rollout, the headline features point to a broader upgrade for WhatsApp calling. With web-based voice and video calls now arriving, plus tools like call transfer and a waiting room, WhatsApp appears to be expanding how people manage conversations across devices.
