Soon, users can choose the time the group call starts and can even give the call a name.
This new feature of WhatsApp will surely help the group members to organize their meetings and events in advance.
In good news for WhatsApp users across the world, the popular instant messaging application owned by Meta is working on the ability to schedule group calls. The feature is currently available to anyone enrolled in the TestFlight program and running the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.4.0.
According to a report by WhatsApp tracking website WABetaInfo, the ‘Schedule call’ button can be accessed from a new context menu that appears when you press the call button in a group and will appear when the feature is enabled.
Thanks to this option, you can choose when to start the group call and give a name to the scheduled call. When the call starts, all group members will be notified so they can quickly join the call.
It is important to note that the group call scheduling feature is compatible with both audio and video calls, as it depends on which call button you interacted with to open the context menu.
This new feature of WhatsApp will surely help the group members to organize their meetings and events in advance, ensuring that everyone in the group is aware of the scheduled timings so that they can prepare accordingly and do extra No need for reminders.
It will also help reduce the likelihood of missed or delayed calls, which can negatively impact group communication and collaboration.
In related news, WhatsApp is also rolling out a new feature that will allow users to save messages from disappearing on iOS and Android beta. With the new feature, beta testers can now prevent the expiration of some disappearing messages by using the “Keep” option.
Messages placed within a chat bubble are marked with a bookmark icon and are also listed in the “Place messages” section. Also, users will still be able to control this feature while in conversation.
The report states that the ability to prevent messages from disappearing is currently available to some beta testers, and is expected to roll out to even more users in the coming days.
