These features were only available for mobile devices but now users can enjoy these features on laptop and desktop computers.

If you want to make calls through WhatsApp from your laptop, you will have to download the app on your phone.

Only computers with windows 10 64-bit version 1903 and newer and macOS 10.13 and newer will be able to benefit from the new one-to-one feature.
