NEW YORK: WhatsApp the messaging has now officially rolled out the new calling feature for its users. At first stage the new calling feature has been allowed only to Android users but it will be soon rolled out for the iOS users in a couple of weeks. The new version of WhatsApp includes a new layout which has three tabs in it including Calls, Chat and Contacts.
Now users of WhatsApp don’t have to switch o their mobile network for making a call but the users can enjoy it on app for free.
The feature, which had been teased for months, was introduced to select users earlier when the last update was rolled out a few weeks ago. However, it can now be availed by all, reported The Verge.
The latest version of Whatsapp offers a cleaner layout with three tabs for Calls, Chats, and Contacts. Users have to just click the Calls tab and select a contact to chart talking.
However, users must note that the feature will only allow them to make app-to-app voice calls, unlike previous version of Whatsapp where users could call contacts simply by switching to their smartphone’s regular mobile services.
The update is available on Google Play Store and Whatsapp’s own site. The feature is expected to be rolled out to iOS users in a couple of weeks.
