WhatsApp's voice calling feature is now available to all Android users.
The world's most popular messaging app with over
700 million monthly active users only
introduced this feature recently and rolled
it out gradually to its Android users. If you are not an Android user, you'll
just have to wait a little longer to get this feature. But if you use Android,
and haven't yet activated voice calling on WhatsApp, what are you waiting for?
The process isn't
as simple as updating WhatsApp to start using the voice calling features. It
involves a couple more steps that you need to follow. We've described these
below, so take a look to enable voice calling on WhatsApp for Android.
1.
Download
the latest version of WhatsApp for Android from here.
The latest version on WhatsApp's website is 2.12.7,
but if you're downloading from Google Play, ensure that your device has version 2.11.561. Older
versions don't support this feature for all users.
2.
Once
you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your Android phone, ask
someone who has WhatsApp calling enabled to make a WhatsApp call to your
number.
3.
Multiple
users have reported that giving a missed call doesn't work. You'll have to
receive the call and wait for a few seconds before disconnecting to activate
WhatsApp voice calling.
4.
When
the feature is enabled on your smartphone, you'll see a new three-tab layout on
WhatsApp, one each for Calls, Chats and Contacts.
