Staying connected with friends and family on WhatsApp is about to become even more convenient! The popular messaging app is looking to integrate call logs with Google’s native Phone app on Android, putting WhatsApp’s voice and video calls on par with regular phone calls. Here’s what you need to know:
– Currently, WhatsApp calls only show up within the app itself. But with this upcoming integration, you’ll be able to see all your call history in one place, making it easier to keep track of your conversations.
– A recent discovery by @Kishore9196 on X (via Android Police) suggests that the feature might already be rolling out in a limited beta test.
– In the provided screenshot, WhatsApp calls are visible within the Google Phone app’s call log, clearly labeled with a “WhatsApp” tag for easy identification. This integration could potentially allow users to quickly initiate another WhatsApp call with just a tap.
– While this feature isn’t entirely new (iOS already has it), Android users will soon enjoy the same convenience of having third-party VoIP calls integrated into their native call history.
– This move towards interconnectivity between apps is in line with the DMCA’s recent order for European users to have more seamless messaging experiences. It may also pave the way for integrating other messaging platforms within WhatsApp for a more unified user experience.
This change is sure to enhance the quality of life for those who rely on WhatsApp for calling. With everything at your fingertips in one place, staying connected has never been easier. Get ready for a smoother communication experience with WhatsApp!
