How to create and share WhatsApp call links: A step-by-step guide

WhatsApp has evolved into much more than just a messaging app; it is now a versatile tool for staying connected through voice and video calls too. With the ability to create and share call links, connecting with friends, family, or even colleagues has never been easier, whether for a quick chat or a virtual meeting. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on how to create and share these handy links, making your WhatsApp calling experience on your smartphones smoother.

To begin, open your WhatsApp app and navigate to the “Calls” tab. This is usually located at the bottom of the screen. Once there, look for the green-coloured Call button at the bottom corner and then tap on the “New call link” option.

WhatsApp will now generate a unique link for you. You will then be presented with options to choose the call type: voice or video. Select your preferred option to tailor the link accordingly.

With your call link ready, it is time to share it. WhatsApp offers a variety of sharing options for your convenience. You can directly share the link with your WhatsApp contacts by selecting them from the list provided.

Alternatively, you can copy the link and share it through other platforms like email, text message, or social media. This flexibility allows you to reach people even if they aren’t in your WhatsApp contacts.

It is important to note that anyone with the link can join the call, so be mindful of who you share it with if you intend to have a private conversation. Additionally, these links don’t have an expiration date, meaning they remain active indefinitely unless you delete them.

To manage your active call links, simply return to the “Calls” tab and select “Call Links.” Here, you can delete any links you no longer need, ensuring better control over your calls.

WhatsApp call links offer a convenient way to initiate group calls without the hassle of adding each participant individually. This is particularly useful for recurring calls or when you have a large number of people to connect with.
