WhatsApp is making it easier for users to connect with friends and family through a new feature that lets them create call links right from the chat interface. This handy addition allows you to quickly generate links for voice or video calls without jumping through extra hoops. If you’re a beta tester, you can access this feature.
The new call link feature can now be accessed by beta users in both individual and group chats. To use this feature, simply tap the attachment icon in the chat bar, and you’ll find the call link shortcut within the attachment menu, reports WABetaInfo. This integration streamlines the process, saving you time by eliminating the need to switch to the Calls tab to generate a link.

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.
Currently, this feature is available to select beta testers who have the latest WhatsApp beta update for Android from the Google Play Store. As WhatsApp continues to roll it out, more users can expect to see this useful tool in their chats soon.
