WhatsApp Unveils Awaited Voice Call Feature for Android, iOS Soon to Follow

Breaking new ground yet again, WhatsApp is revolutionizing the digital world of communication. Adding to its repertoire of engaging features, WhatsApp has now introduced a real-time voice calling function. This new attribute is not a variant or an enhancement of the existing voice chat feature within the app; it’s an individual entity in itself, designed to enable WhatsApp users to engage in voice calls with each other.

Perhaps you’re wondering, is it VoIP? And, to confirm your speculation, yes, it is. Leveraging the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, WhatsApp now lets you call your contacts over the internet, similar to other VoIP-based platforms such as Skype.

To wield the benefits of this new feature on your Android device, start by updating your WhatsApp application to the latest version available through the Google Play Store. After your application is updated, ask someone who already has this feature to call you. Once you’ve received their call, you need to close the application and reopen it, enabling the feature on your device in the process.

Alternatively, for a slightly more tech-savvy approach, you can directly download the APK installer from the official WhatsApp website, and install the update manually. According to reports, this method also ensures access to the latest voice calling function.

And voila! You can now enter the world of internet-based voice calling through your WhatsApp application. As of now, WhatsApp has not announced any limitations on call duration, creating a sense of a Skype-like service offering, but for the WhatsApp community. Happy calling!
