A recent report suggests that the WhatsApp application is testing a new feature in the new beta version, which is the scheduled group calls feature. Group calls are integrated into the app at a specific time, so the user does not have to send messages. With the scheduling feature to start group conversations between the selected group, the most suitable time to start the calls will be determined directly.
This feature allows users to initiate calls at a specific time, specify the group conversation topic and date of the call, and choose the type of call between audio or video if an event is created automatically. To avoid missed calls to group call subscribers, participating users will be notified of the call date.
An event is automatically created in the group chat and participants are notified 15 minutes before the scheduled call time. This ensures everyone is ready and available, reducing the chances of missed or delayed calls, and a scheduled group call feature is now available. Beta users who installed the latest WhatsApp beta update through the Google Play Store are limited edition testers, and the company plans to gradually roll out the feature to a wider audience in the future.
In addition to the scheduling feature, WhatsApp also offers a multi-account option for beta testers that allows users to manage multiple accounts within the app. Additionally, the app improves security by linking accounts to email addresses.
