Google’s Gmail apps bring instant voice and video call buttons to Chat
Back in September, Google announced that it would allow users to make calls directly from the Gmail app. Initially, users can create a Google Meet link in the app and share it with others through the service of their choice. They can also join meetings created by others through the mobile app. Google now makes it easy to enable audio and video calls by adding a direct call button to the Gmail app.
Google has announced in a blog post that it is now releasing new audio and video call buttons for the Gmail mobile app (via TheVerge). You can find buttons attached to conversations you access from the Chats tab. If you have not seen them yet, make sure you are using the latest version of the app. With a gradual rollout from today, Google says it may take more than 15 days for the feature to reach all users.
This new feature is available to all Google users – Google Workspace, G Suite Basic, and Business customers, as well as users with personal Google Accounts. It makes Gmail a go-to app for all types of communication, not just email-centric. The company highlights that users who click on the “Join a Call” button in the Google Chat app will be redirected to the Gmail app.
The new interface reminds us of Google’s Retired Hangouts. It is unclear what Google’s plans are for the current Gmail app. However, it is clear that the company wants to grow into a rich service that bundles communication tools. The app now has four bottom tabs – Mail, Chat, Rooms and Meet. This design protects users from having to jump between apps to work with their teams.

WhatsApp is rolling out a new update for Android users, which brings the long-awaited transfer ownership feature to the community. This feature allows community owners to easily transfer their leadership role to another member.
Previously, if a WhatsApp community owner wanted to transfer ownership, they had to create a new community and ask everyone to join it. This was a long process and could lead to losing members and causing confusion.
Now, the new transfer ownership feature of WhatsApp resolves this issue by making it simple to pass on the leadership without any major disruptions and following a too-long process.
This feature appears in the community settings and makes it simple for current owners to transfer their leadership duties. Once the transfer is complete, the original owner will still be an admin but will lose the top decision-making capabilities.
They can continue to help manage and moderate the community, but won’t be able to make major changes like disabling the community or removing other admins.
The Transfer community ownership feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the WhatsApp beta version 2.24.19.34 from the Google Play Store. The company plans to roll it out to more users over the next few weeks.
