The ‘Call Links’ feature will be available in the ‘Calls’ tab after rollout, but WhatsApp users will need to have the latest app version for the option to appear. — Handout/Meta

According to a Facebook post made by Meta co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, WhatsApp will be rolling out a new feature this week that will allow users to both start and join calls in the app via links.

The feature – named "Call Links" – can be used for both audio and video calls in WhatsApp, enabling users to join a call at any time so long as they have been given a link.
