WhatsApp aims to strengthen its position as the go-to app for staying connected with friends and family, whether for quick chats or long-distance communication. Just in time for the holiday season, the app is rolling out a series of new calling features to make interactions easier and more enjoyable.

One of the standout updates is the ability to choose specific participants from a group chat when making a call. This feature is perfect for private discussions, such as planning surprise events or coordinating gift ideas, without involving the entire group.

To make video calls more engaging, WhatsApp is introducing ten new effects, including puppy ears, underwater themes, and a karaoke microphone. These playful additions are designed to add a touch of fun and make conversations with loved ones more memorable.

For desktop users, WhatsApp has simplified the process of making calls. A dedicated calls tab now allows users to initiate calls, create call links, and dial numbers with ease, ensuring a seamless experience.

The update also promises improved video call quality, offering better resolution, clearer visuals, and more reliable connections on both mobile and desktop. The aim is to make virtual conversations feel closer to real-life interactions.

These features are gradually being rolled out, so users who haven’t seen the updates yet are encouraged to stay tuned.
