According to Geo Business, this development is a major step forward for the Meta-owned platform, which has been 'notably impressive' in its efforts to enhance user experience. The rollout is currently in beta, as reported by TechJuice, and marks the first time since WhatsApp Web's 2015 launch that users can make calls directly from the browser version.
