Whatsapp Voice Calling Now Live for All Android and Blackberry 10 Devices, No More Invite to Activate
Sometimes last
year, Whatsapp announced that it
will be rolling out voice calling features to its popular Whatsapp messaging
app, and since then, Whatsapp users over the world have patiently waited for
this feature to come alive.
I can
categorically tell you now that the wait is over and Whatsapp have finally made
done their promises and have started rolling out the full voice calling feature
in all android and blackberry 10 platforms.
You could
recall that in the past few weeks, Whatsapp
voice calling feature has been available as invite only to activate or
through some sort of hacking to activate, but now, Whatsapp has fully made it
live on those devices without any need again to invite before it is activated.
All you now
need to activate the Whatsapp voice calling feature is to download the latest
version of Whatsapp to your android, which is version 2.12.19, and you can easily find it on Whatsapp website or Google Play Store.
Then for
blackberry 10 users, the Whatsapp voice calling feature will be integrated automatically
as the Whatstapp in your device will automatically updates itself to the latest
version.
Just as
expected, the voice calling feature is straight forward to use on start-up of
this latest version of Whatsapp.
You will
notice a Call Tab once you open the
current Whatsapp, and the call tab houses all incoming, outgoing and missed
calls.
A call can
be initiated to any of your contact when chatting with them or when browsing
through the list of contacts.
When you
initiate a call to a contact that has not yet downloaded this latest version of
Whatsapp, or if he/she is offline, you will hear a ringing sound after which it
will cut and it will register as missed call on the contact side.
You should
note that the call is based on VOIP
and the call rate charge depends on what your Internet data provider charges
for internet access.
It could
also be recalled that Facebook acquired Whatsapp sometimes last year in a
record breaking deal to the tune of $19 billion.
