WhatsApp is soon introducing a new calling function to make its platform more convenient. This feature will allow users to make audio and video calls without entering a number. Testing will begin soon. This upcoming feature was spotted by wabetainfo, a website that monitors WhatsApp features.

wabetainfo reported that the 'Search and call using username' feature in WhatsApp is currently in development. This feature was spotted in the Android 2.25.33.2 beta update. It is currently available on the Google Play Store and will be rolled out to beta users soon.

The report further stated that the arrival of the Search and call using username feature in WhatsApp will allow users to make audio and video calls by simply entering a username. This will eliminate the need to use a number. It's believed that this will make communicating on the app easier and eliminate the need to save phone numbers.

To use this feature, users will need to go to the Calls tab, where they'll see a search function, where they can call a user by searching for a name. This search list will only display contacts from users who have shared their details. This will maintain privacy and transparency. This feature will completely change the way you make calls on WhatsApp.

When will the rollout happen?

WhatsApp's calling function is expected to be rolled out to all stable users later this year. Currently, the messaging app has not yet provided any information.
