WhatsApp Rolling Out Guest Chats for Temporary Conversations With Non-WhatsApp Users in Beta: Report
WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that enables users to send messages to those people who do not have a WhatsApp account, according to a feature tracker. The feature, dubbed Guest Chats, allows non-WhatsApp users to join the chat via a secure web link, eliminating the need to specifically create a WhatsApp account. Such chats are said to leverage a unique identifier for creating an encryption key, enabling the same end-to-end encryption that the platform applies to normal conversations.
