CALIFORNIA: WhatsApp is gearing up to unveil an update that enables users to quickly initiate calls with their preferred contacts. Version 2.24.5.5, currently in the Google Play Beta Program, prioritizes enhancing the call placement process by integrating contact shortcuts into the calls tab.
In the latest WhatsApp beta update for Android 2.24.5.5, now accessible on the Google Play Store, it has been disclosed that WhatsApp is also exploring the option to designate favourite contacts within the Android app.
These selected favourites will be prominently showcased at the top of the calls tab, simplifying access to frequently contacted individuals with a single tap. This feature aims to streamline the process of initiating calls with preferred contacts, offering users a more convenient experience.
Users will have the freedom to manually select their favourite contacts through the contacts picker, ensuring a personalized experience based on individual preferences.
The basic goal of this enhancement is to improve accessibility by introducing an intuitive shortcut for initiating calls directly from the calls tab. This shortcut is predicted to save valuable time, particularly in urgent situations or when contacting specific individuals frequently.
By prominently featuring favourite contacts at the top of the calls tab, users can initiate calls with just one tap, eliminating the need to navigate through their entire contact list.
The introduction of the favourite contacts feature is expected to provide users with a personalized communication experience tailored to their preferences.
WhatsApp aims to empower users to customize their calling interface by incorporating shortcuts to the contacts they interact with most frequently, enabling them to prioritize specific contacts within the calls tab.
The development of the favourite contacts feature for quick call placement is currently in progress and is scheduled to be included in a future app update.
