"With so many people still apart from their loved ones, and adjusting to new ways of working, we want conversations on WhatsApp to feel as close to in-person as possible, regardless of where you are in the world or the technology you’re using." Facebook, via press release.<br />The new feature “makes it easier to work with colleagues, see your family more clearly on a bigger canvas or free up your hands to move around a room while talking.”<br />Though similar to Zoom, FaceTime and Google Meet, WhatsApp's new offering currently only hosts one-on-one conversations.<br />If you're worried about privacy, rest assured that calls are "end-to-end encrypted."<br />"Voice and video calls on WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted, so WhatsApp can’t hear or see them, whether you call from your phone or your computer." Facebook, via press release
