whatsapp continues to work on new features to improve its platform and user experience. The latest one consists of a system that will allow you to create shortcuts to call contacts from your phone book from the home page of your mobile device. Through these shortcuts, you will not even need to enter the application to initiate a call to another user.

This novelty is already present in the latest version update Beta from whatsapp For android and its purpose is to save time for all those users who regularly use the platform to make calls. Next, we’ll explain a little more about how this option works in our tests and when it might show up in a regular app.

WhatsApp is preparing shortcuts for calling contacts

According to the portal WABetaInformationupdate version 2.33.3.15 Beta from whatsapp For android includes a new feature that allows users to create shortcuts on their smartphone’s home screen, just like other installed apps. From here, simply tap the shortcut to call the desired contact.

To create a call shortcut in whatsapp, the user must enter the application and press within a few seconds on a contact from their agenda. After that, a menu with several options will be displayed, among which there is a function to create a shortcut.

After that, an icon will appear on the main screen, through which the user can directly call the selected person without having to enter whatsapp and select it from your schedule, saving you a certain amount of time.

WhatsApp continues to update its offer

According to what you mention WABetaInformationthe option already works fine in version 2.33.3.15 update Beta from whatsapp For android, but it is still limited to this test version. This feature is still in development and is likely to be integrated into the regular WhatsApp client in a future version.

Similarly, the Meta instant messaging app is also working on other tools and news coming soon to its platform. These include the ability to save photos in their original quality and an updated interface for your camera.
