Popular instant messaging platform WhatsApp is rolling out a new joinable calls feature that lets users hop into group calls after they’ve started.
According to ANI, this new feature means that users will be able to join a call with their friends and family when they’re ready, kind of like what you can do with a group Zoom or Google Meet call right now. Given the massive popularity of WhatsApp, this could be a useful feature for many people who communicate over the messaging service.
Before the new update, users who would miss a call notification would have to ask the caller to add them again. While this method made it possible for someone to join the call later when it was very inconvenient.
The platform has also a new call info screen so that users can see who is currently on the call and who is invited but hasn’t joined yet. Joinable calls will still be end-to-end encrypted.
This new joinable calls feature starts rolling out on Monday.
