Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Can I make and receive calls on WhatsApp Web now? Yes, WhatsApp for Web now supports audio and video calls, a feature previously limited to the smartphone and native desktop apps. The web app includes a Calls tab with call history and favorites, plus features like screen-sharing and reactions that already existed on desktop. _Anyone tracking messaging app updates can follow WhatsApp calling changes like this on daily.dev._ ### Can I transfer a WhatsApp call between devices without hanging up? Yes, WhatsApp now lets users transfer an ongoing call from one device to another without ending it, so a call started on desktop or web can continue seamlessly on a phone. This works alongside other new calling updates including waiting rooms and background noise suppression. _Developers building on messaging platforms can track feature rollouts like this via daily.dev._ ### How do WhatsApp group call waiting rooms work? WhatsApp waiting rooms let a call link creator require approval before people join a group call, letting them admit or remove participants as needed. This is enabled through a "Require approval to join" option when creating a call link, aimed at people hosting work meetings on WhatsApp. _Teams evaluating call security options across platforms can keep tabs on features like this via daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@johnstewart62** · 0 upvotes > Finally, it only took 10 years ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [WhatsApp is trying to reinvent voicemail](https://daily.dev/posts/whatsapp-is-trying-to-reinvent-voicemail-i9c2jgjzq) · The Verge · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [WhatsApp adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto upgrades, iPad sign-ups, and more](https://daily.dev/posts/whatsapp-adds-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-upgrades-ipad-sign-ups-and-more-37odzq7eq) · TechCrunch · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [WhatsApp launches long-awaited Apple Watch app](https://daily.dev/posts/whatsapp-launches-long-awaited-apple-watch-app-thffm8ljf) · TechCrunch · 31 upvotes · 9 comments - [I Couldn’t Call My Mom.
