With the expected release of an in-app call dialler function, WhatsApp, the widely used messaging software, is making a big advancement. By adding more functionality to the app's ecosystem and bridging the gap between voice and messaging communication services, this improvement has the potential to improve the user experience. The function will first be made available to iPhone users, but for now, it is only accessible to iOS beta testers.
The in-app call dialer aims to offer users a seamless way to make phone calls directly from WhatsApp, much like a traditional phone dialer but with the added benefit of internet-based calling. Users will reportedly have access to a numeric keypad for dialing unsaved numbers, expanding WhatsApp’s utility beyond its current reliance on contacts stored in the app.
