WhatsApp Calling Screen gets a little makeover
WhatsApp is one of the most loved messaging applications that offers several features and functionalities, therefore, to offer user’s more precise experience, the Meta-based company is giving a little makeover to the app’s calling screen.
Yes, recent information suggests that WhatsApp is refining the interface of its calling screen for a better user experience. With this new enhancement, WhatsApp has replaced the back shortcut with a new minimize button, enhancing navigation during calls.
It also makes the feature more intuitive, as both the back button and the minimize button serve the same purpose of exiting the call screen. This modification addresses user concerns where tapping the back button was mistakenly perceived as ending the call.
However, by replacing the back shortcut with a more intuitive option, WhatsApp simplifies the user interaction process within the calling interface. In addition, WhatsApp also embeds top buttons within distinct shapes to contrast the calling screen’s background.

Overall, by introducing the minimize button, WhatsApp diminishes confusion, providing users with a clear way to navigate away from the call screen without terminating the ongoing call. Consequently, the tweaked interface for the WhatsApp calling screen is currently available for some beta testers and will reach more users in the coming weeks.
WhatsApp starts rolling out Favorite feature for Calls Tab
WhatsApp has been working on a new feature that lets users mark some contacts as favorites for an adequate and more precise experience. Therefore, after a long examination, WhatsApp has finally started rolling out the Favorite feature for the Calls Tab on Android.

Through this feature, users can initiate calls with a single tap, eliminating the need to search through their entire call log. This feature allows users to save valuable time, especially in urgent situations, and enhances user experience by providing personalized communication.
By offering the option to designate favorite contacts, WhatsApp also lets users personalize their calling interface, introducing a separate section for prioritizing their most significant contacts and groups within the calls tab.
