WhatsApp Now Lets You Join Calls Without an Account. Here’s How

WhatsApp, owned by Meta, has introduced a new guest-calling feature that allows people without a WhatsApp account to join voice and video calls. This can make it easier to invite individuals to conversations. Existing users can create a shareable link through the Calls tab and invite guests to join via a computer browser. Guests will need to request permission to enter, giving hosts control over who joins the call.

Up to 32 participants can join a guest call, with no time limits or call fees, and the conversations remain end-to-end encrypted. However, hosts can remove guests at any time, while guests cannot invite others or send messages through the call. This feature is designed to enhance collaboration and communication for small teams, as well as provide an accessible entry point for non-users.
