WhatsApp developing in-app dialler to let you call people without saving their numbers

Last year, we learned that WhatsApp was developing a feature that would let users message unsaved contacts. While that feature is yet to be rolled out to everyone, the platform has now started developing an in-app dialler that will allow its users to call people on WhatsApp without saving their numbers.

This dialler was spotted on WhatsApp for Android's beta version 2.24.9.28. It would be as convenient as the ability to message someone on WhatsApp without having to save their number first since users wouldn't have to go through the hassle of temporarily adding the numbers to their address book if they aren't going to communicate with them frequently or talk only once or twice.

Additionally, WhatsApp is working on a feature called "Hidden group" that allows users to hide groups in communities. Spotted in beta version 2.24.9.20 of WhatsApp for Android, it would only let invited members find and join the group and allow community admins to find and remove it.

It's unclear when these features will be released to users worldwide on the stable version.
