By placing the call link shortcut directly in the chat interface, WhatsApp is enhancing usability. Many users may not have known they could create call links before, as the feature was hidden away in the Calls tab. Now, it will be more visible and user-friendly, making it easier for everyone to explore this feature.

This change is expected to encourage more users to create and share call links, whether for a quick chat with a friend or a group discussion.
