WhatsApp now lets you invite anyone to calls, even if they do not have an account: How it works – CNBC TV18

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to invite people to join voice and video calls even if they do not have a WhatsApp account.

The feature, called guest calling, lets users share a call link with anyone they want to speak to, without asking them to download the app or create an account.

The company said guest calls will be free and end-to-end encrypted, with no time limit. The feature could be useful for people who need to connect with colleagues, classmates, teachers or others who do not use WhatsApp.

To start a guest call, WhatsApp users need to open the Calls tab in the app and tap the '+' icon. They can then create a call link and share it with the people they want to invite.

People who receive the link can open it in a web browser on their computer, enter their name and request to join the call. They do not need a WhatsApp account to take part. However, only people with a WhatsApp account can create call links. The person who creates the link acts as the host and must approve guests before they can join the conversation.
