Until now, users of WhatsAppwho used the web browser to respond to messages without having to use their iPhone, will see the functions of this application improved, since not all of them were allowed in this way, and forced them to switch between the mobile phone and the browser.
Among them, the group voice and video callssomething that many of us use, and that we could not manage, easily, from the computer, forcing us to pick up the phone, which was quite annoying, since, if it was something about work, not having everything directly on the PC is counterproductive. However, this is going to change.
New feature available on WhatsApp Web
If you use WhatsApp Web often, this probably sounds familiar to you: you are chatting from your computer, someone says “shall we make a call?”, and you automatically have to pick up your cell phone. Well that is starting to change.
WhatsApp is gradually activating the group voice and video calls directly from WhatsApp Web. That is, from the browser, without installing anything else and without depending on the phone for everything. Something quite basic that, honestly, many people took for granted already existed.
Until now, from WhatsApp Web you could only write, send audios and files, but as soon as the conversation turned into a call, you had to change devices. For those who work on a laptop or spend hours in front of the computer, it was quite an annoying outage.
With this change, The idea is that you can do the same thing you would do from your mobilebut without getting out of the chair. If you are in a group and a call is organized, you can join directly from your computer, with a camera and microphone, like any other video calling app. Which, sometimes, is even better, since the quality you can have, as well as the connection, will make everything look more fluid.
Of course, it is not available to everyone yet. WhatsApp usually activates these functions little by littlefirst to some users and then to the rest. It may not be available today and in a few weeks it will be, without you having to touch anything, so don't rush to try it, because it may not be available for you yet.
When active, the experience will be much more comfortable for long callsinformal meetings or simply to talk with friends without having to worry about your cell phone. Especially if you already have headphones and a webcam connected to the computer, as is the case with MacBooks, where the quality of the components will provide us with a more than good call, without the need for external accessories.
Deep down, it is one of those changes that for many is not important, but that is greatly appreciated on a daily basis.
day, especially at the moment when you need it, and you didn't even know it was not available. WhatsApp Web is starting to feel less like a “mobile companion” and more like a full version that you can use without thinking about what device you have at hand, as is the case with Telegram, where it has been an independent app for some time.
