Now WhatsApp can be set as the default app for calling and messaging on iPhone. For this, some easy tips have to be followed.

iPhone users will now be able to use WhatsApp as the default app for calling and messaging. Actually, a new feature has come in the iOS 18.2 update, under which third-party apps can be set as the default app for calling and messaging. After this feature came, WhatsApp started rolling out support for default apps on iPhone. Let us know what steps have to be followed to do this work.

This support is found in the latest version of WhatsApp.

The latest version of WhatsApp supports Apple's API, 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, WhatsApp can also be set there instead of Apple's built-in phone apps. This will give the user the convenience of making calls through WhatsApp with just one click. He will not need to open a separate app for WhatsApp calling.

How to set WhatsApp as the 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 for this feature to reach all users. To take advantage of this feature, first update WhatsApp by going to the App Store. After this, go to Apps in the iPhone settings and go to default apps. Here WhatsApp can be selected as the calling and messaging app. Similarly, now users can also set other apps as default for browsing, email, call filtering translation etc. in iPhone.
