iPhone users will now be able to use WhatsApp as a default app for calling and messaging. Actually, a new feature has come in the iOS 18.2 update, under which the third-party app can be set as a default app for calling and messages. After this feature, WhatsApp has started rolling out for the default app on the iPhone. Let us know what steps will have to be followed to do this work.
This support found in the latest version of Whatsapp
In the latest version of WhatsApp, Apple’s API is supported, due to which users will be able to choose the calling and messaging app of their choice. This means that when a user taps to call a number, then WhatsApp can also be set instead of Apple’s built-in phone apps. With this, the user will have the convenience that he will be able to call through WhatsApp with a single click. He will not have to open a separate app for WhatsApp calling.
How to set Whatsapp as a default app?
Whatsapp is rolling out this support for all iPhone users. However, this will be done in a phased manner. In such a situation, it may take some time to get this feature with all the users. To take advantage of this feature, first go to the app store and update WhatsApp. After this, go to the apps in the settings of the iPhone and go to the default apps. Whatsapp can be selected here as calling and messaging app. Similarly, now users can also set other apps as defaults for browsing, email, call filtering and translation etc. in iPhone.
