WhatsApp has launched a new feature that makes it easy to hop onto a call after it’s already started.
The “joinable calls” feature should be handy for the perennially tardy. WhatsApp says it also brings the spontaneity and ease of in-person chats to group calls:
The joinable calls will remain end-to-end encrypted. WhatsApp has also integrated a call info screen, which shows who’s currently on the call and who hasn’t shown up yet.
The feature is now rolling out to users globally. Here’s how to use it:
Joining an incoming WhatsApp group call
Joining a missed group call
That’s it! You’re now free to join a call fashionably late, with the reassurance that you won’t be barred from entering.
