WhatsApp is adding calling features to its web experience so people can place audio and video calls directly in a browser without installing a desktop application. According to reporting, the browser calling support includes both audio and video calling capabilities and is designed to work as an in-browser function rather than requiring a separate app.
The update also introduces additional call management and quality-related features. These include call transfer, waiting rooms, and video enhancements such as “QuickHD.” WhatsApp is also adding noise suppression intended to improve call clarity during audio conversations.
The announcement highlights that these capabilities are part of WhatsApp’s broader effort to extend core communication functions to web users. The features are described as available through the browser interface, expanding access for users who primarily use WhatsApp via web.
Overall, the change brings WhatsApp’s calling toolkit to web browsers with added controls and media enhancements, aligning web usage more closely with the mobile and desktop versions.
