WhatsApp Unveils New Calling Features and Upgrades for 2024

WhatsApp is introducing a new call dialer feature for iPhone users, allowing them to make calls to numbers not saved in their contacts. This feature, currently in beta, resembles the iPhone's default dialer and aims to streamline calling processes. It aligns with iOS 18.2's new capability to set third-party apps as default for calls and messages, potentially positioning WhatsApp as a replacement for Apple's Phone app. The update is part of broader improvements to WhatsApp's calling features, including enhanced video call quality.
