For a few desktop beta users who installed the WhatsApp beta update for Windows 2.2246.4.0 from the Microsoft Store, WhatsApp has already rolled out the “Calls” tab in the app’s sidebar. In the coming days, this is expected to be rolled out to even more users.
The new section will allow users to view their call history within the WhatsApp desktop app, along with relevant information about each call. They will also be able to search for calls that have been made in the past.
"Since this app is in beta, your call history may not immediately sync with your mobile device: in fact, calls made from the native desktop app may not appear on your phone. Another update may be released in the future and should address this issue," the report states.
