WhatsApp adds guest calling for people without accounts
In short
WhatsApp introduced a guest calling feature for people who do not have accounts. They can join audio and video calls through browser links, and calls can support up to 32 participants. The host controls access.
This matters because it makes WhatsApp easier to use for non-users and larger groups. The reporting did not say when the feature will be available everywhere.
