WhatsApp is rolling out voice and video calls on WhatsApp Web, starting with one-to-one chats. Screen sharing is included in video calls, while group calls and extras like call links are still in development.

After being revealed in January, WhatsApp is now rolling out a major upgrade to how the app will work on the web.

A Meta spokesperson said the EU had "no reason" to intervene over it changing the app in January.

Meta Platforms unit WhatsApp's fight against the EU privacy watchdog was sent back to ​a lower tribunal on Tuesday, prolonging a five-year tussle triggered by the ‌latter's order to the Irish data protection authority to increase a fine to 225 million euros ($268 million).

WhatsApp is about to introduce a major new capability, it’s reported and it will finally allow users of the WhatsApp web app to take part in voice and video calls. Parent company Meta has other innovations planned, including a feature for iOS users to be able to share their chat history with new group members. More on that below.
