WhatsApp is striving to keep up with its competitors and has been unveiling a range of new features recently. It’s now stepping into the territory of Google Meet and Zoom by enhancing group calls.

Meta’s well-known messaging app will soon allow users to schedule calls within group chats, mirroring the functionality of Google Meet and Zoom. This feature was identified in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android (2.23.17.7).

As indicated in the provided screenshot, WhatsApp‘s group chats will soon enable users to schedule calls for upcoming times and notify all group members accordingly. This feature was observed a few months ago in a previous WhatsApp beta version, and now it’s being rolled out to beta testers, indicating its impending launch.

According to the screenshot, within a group, the call button will offer the option to schedule calls for a later time. This enables you to set a specific date and time for a conference call, along with its intended purpose. Additionally, you can choose between a video or audio call. Individuals who click on “Join call” within the group will receive a notification 15 minutes prior to the call’s commencement.

This enhancement should greatly simplify call planning, eliminating the need for manual reminders due to the automatic notification function.
