Summary

WhatsApp has long been known as a mobile-first app, but its web-based version is now making waves beyond just desktop users. The upcoming feature will allow users to make voice and video calls directly from their browsers on Chrome, Safari, Edge, or any supported platform—currently requiring the WhatsApp desktop app for such calls. This change eliminates the need to switch devices, ensuring seamless connectivity whether at work, home, or anywhere else. While details about how exactly this new feature will function are still unclear, it’s a big step forward in enhancing the WhatsApp experience for web users everywhere.
