WhatsApp brings end-to-end encrypted voice and video calls to the web

WhatsApp has launched voice and video calling functionality on the web platform, enabling users to make and receive calls directly through their browser. The feature supports end-to-end encryption and targets users on shared or restricted computers where desktop app installation may not be permitted.

Why it matters: Security practitioners managing corporate environments should evaluate the web calling feature as a potential communication channel that bypasses desktop application controls and may present new data exfiltration or surveillance vectors on managed networks.
