WhatsApp is working on adding a new Calls tab to its Desktop version to make it easier for you to make calls via its Desktop app. This will come after WhatsApp allowed users to conduct calls on its Desktop app last year.
WABetaInfo‘s recent report reveals that WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2246.4.0 update has introduced a new Calls Tab in the sidebar, which is also being beta-tested as of now. The new section will allow people to easily start a voice or video call and even view the call history.
To recall, audio and video calls on WhatsApp for Desktop were introduced last year. You can resize the call window and even use portrait or landscape orientations. It is currently available for individual chats and doesn’t work with groups. You can simply open a chat on WhatsApp’s desktop app and select the call icon to start one.
The Calls section is currently for beta users and it remains to be seen when it will reach the general audience. Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also testing a new Screen Lock feature for its Desktop version as an extra layer of security. This will allow you to secure the app with a passcode whenever you use it. Plus, it might also support fingerprint scanning.
