WhatsApp is introducing an in-app dialer feature for beta users, allowing direct calls without the need to save contacts. This feature, detailed in a report by WABetaInfo, is part of WhatsApp's efforts to enhance user convenience. Here's how it works:
1. Direct Calls:
Users can place calls directly from within the app, without having to save contacts in their address book.
2. Floating Num-Pad:
The new feature includes a floating num-pad that enables users to dial numbers seamlessly.
3. Beta Testing:
The in-app dialer is currently available to select beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.13.17) from the Google Play Store.
4. Use Cases:
- Temporary Calls: Users can connect with colleagues or clients for brief discussions without saving their numbers. - One-Off Calls: Need to contact customer service or a business? No need to add them to your contacts list; just make the call directly.
5. Address Book Options:
After entering a phone number, users can choose to save it as a new contact or add it to an existing contact card.
6. Messaging Shortcut:
Within the dialer screen, users can also quickly send a message to a phone number they initially intended to call but decided to message instead.
