Every now and then, WhatsApp adds new features and different innovations that refresh the user experience of Meta’s messaging service, so when there is talk of a future update, it doesn’t really surprise us. In that sense, it seems that the popular application intends to add its own phone dialer in an upcoming update.
As recently discovered by the WABetaInfo portal, with the new update of the WhatsApp beta version for Android, version 2.24.9.28, Meta is implementing the aforementioned integrated phone number dialer. Therefore, although there is a possibility that it may not ultimately reach the global WhatsApp app, it seems that sooner or later it will be fully integrated so that all users can use this dialer.
WhatsApp is working on its own phone dialer
Although the mentioned portal has made this discovery, they also comment that this feature is not even available for use by beta version users of WhatsApp, although it is a matter of time before they receive it through a future update. Obviously, although it is not known, as we said before; it is a matter of time before this addition reaches the version of the service used by everyone. However, the website has shared a supposed screenshot of how the dialer will look like when it is launched.
The truth is that this is quite similar to what we can already find on our smartphone, so surely its use will be almost identical. It is worth mentioning that, for now, there is not much more information about it, but certainly this can be a very interesting addition for many users, since we will be able to make calls to unknown people without having to save their number, for example. In addition, WhatsApp’s end-to-end encrypted audio and video calls would take place over the Internet, which would benefit those people who are using WiFi or certain data plans, as stated by WABetaInfo.
That being said, we will be keeping an eye on the news that will arise around this future update that WhatsApp will receive at some point. This phone markup is a quite striking feature, but it is not the only update that has arrived and will arrive to the Meta service.
