Meta-owned WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to create calling shortcuts. The new feature will allow users to create a calling shortcut by simply tapping the contact cell within the contacts list, according to the WABetaInfo. Once created, the new calling shortcut will be added to the user's device's home screen.

The report added that the ability to create calling shortcuts is currently under development and will be released in a future update of the application. Last month it was reported that the messaging platform was developing a new feature allowing users to send photos in their original resolution.
