(Web Desk) - WhatsApp is set to introduce a new update that allows users to swiftly make calls to their favorite contacts. The upcoming version 2.24.5.5, currently in the Google Play Beta Program, is focused on enhancing the call placement process by adding contact shortcuts to the calls tab.
In the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.5.5 update, now available on the Google Play Store, it has been revealed that WhatsApp is also working on bringing the option to select favorite contacts to the Android app.
These chosen favorites will be prominently displayed at the top of the calls tab, streamlining access to frequently contacted users with a single tap. This feature aims to simplify initiating calls with preferred contacts, providing users with a more convenient experience.
Users will have the flexibility to manually choose their favorite contacts through the contacts picker, ensuring a personalized experience based on individual preferences.
The objective of this enhancement is to enhance accessibility, introducing an intuitive shortcut for initiating calls directly from the calls tab. This shortcut is expected to save valuable time, especially in urgent situations or when reaching out to specific contacts frequently.
By featuring favorite contacts prominently at the top of the calls tab, users can initiate calls with just one tap, eliminating the need to navigate through their entire contact list.
The introduction of the favorite contacts feature is anticipated to offer users a personalized communication experience aligned with their preferences.
WhatsApp aims to provide users with the ability to customize their calling interface by incorporating shortcuts to the contacts they interact with most frequently, allowing them to prioritize specific contacts within the calls tab.
The development of the favorite contacts feature for quick call placement is currently underway and is planned to be included in a future app update.
