And according to what the head of WhatsApp, Will Cathcart, revealed, the “calls via links” feature will appear to users of the application starting this week, and it includes voice calls and video calls, as the image he posted on Twitter showed that a new option to create “call links” will appear. At the top of the “CALLS” page within WhatsApp.
Experts believe that the feature of creating links for calls and sending them as invitations comes within the context of WhatsApp’s plan to also impose its control over the business world and compete with the Zoom application, which relies heavily on this feature.
According to experts, the “calls via links” feature that WhatsApp will provide this week will not be as advanced as that offered by the Zoom application, which many companies in the world rely on to schedule and hold their meetings remotely, but WhatsApp, which puts its “eye” on the Zoom audience. , has the potential to develop this feature quickly, to pull the “rug” of business meetings from Zoom at a later stage.
