WhatsApp Voice Calling Feature, NowAvailable for All Android Users

WhatsApp appears to have opened its
voice calling feature to all Android users,
with the invite window now open for
several hours. The world’s most popular
messaging app has been gradually rolling
out this feature by opening the invite
window only for a few hours at a time.
This time however, WhatsApp may have
opened the floodgates, reports Android
Police.
The report says that many people have
been receiving the WhatsApp calling
feature on their Android smartphones. To
activate the feature, all you need is the
latest version (v2.11.561) of WhatsApp (via
APKMirror) and a WhatsApp call from
someone who already has the feature.
After you get the call, you will see
WhatsApp’s interface switch from just
showing recent chats to three tabs – calls,
chats and contacts.
This move appears to have come on the
back of another milestone for WhatsApp –
over 1 billion installs via Google Play. The
app’s Google Play page now shows that it
has between 1 billion and 5 billion installs.
These numbers of course don’t reveal the
actual number of WhatsApp users because
anyone who installed the app once is
counted in this number. The number isn’t
reduced if the person proceeds to delete
the app. Even then, the number shows just
how popular the messaging app is.
Earlier, the voice calling feature was rolled
out to some users, but the invite window
was closed before most people could get
the feature. WhatsApp still has not
announced the voice calling feature
officially on its website or the release
notes on Google Play. WhatsApp for iPhone
still doesn’t have this feature even though
a voice calling button appeared in the app
some time ago.
Having established itself as the world’s
most popular messaging app with over 700
million monthly active users, WhatsApp
seems to be augmenting its offering by
adding features available in competing
messaging apps. WhatsApp for Android
users also recently got a Web version that
works well. Both these features have been
available for some time with competing
messaging apps such as iMessage (calling
via FaceTime), Line, Viber, among others.
