All waiting comes to an end. After some speculation, finally activated WhatsApp WhatsApp Web, the Web service application for smartphones, and today, after the company announced that voice calls promised at MWC last year for the second half was delayed until 2015 , Android users can start using the service voice call WhatsApp , as stated in Android Police.
To do so, download or have installed the latest version of the application , you can find in the Play Store or download the APK externally, in the event that do not use Google services. The version of WhatsApp in the Play Store that enables the function is 2.11.528. Unlike what has traditionally happened with interface changes and updates, iOS users see as currently can not access the latest news from WhatsApp, although in the case of calls should not be too far away. Same for users of other platforms.
To enable voice calls WhatsaApp, yes, we have to receive a call from someone who already has access to the service , ie be “guests”, otherwise, our interface will be similar to traditional text messaging. After this call, the application will change its interface, after closing and reopening the application. Typical traditional view of “Chats” main window, now see three panes: “Call”, “Chats” and “Contacts” . Indeed, activation of voice calls in WhatsApp has occurred, within the application no longer find traditional way to call because the function call now limited exclusively to VoIP calls.
The truth is that we appreciate this novelty, I said it, and were in the majority of customers from the competition, such as Viber, LINE, or even Hangouts, Facebook Messenger and Facetime (from iOS 7 allows voice-only calls). It was not the most demanded functions WhatsApp, but beyond that is anecdotal that the company has long buried the use of voice calls is now one that probably do grow much data traffic through them. We will have to perform tests to check the data consumption voice calls on WhatsApp, although as we have seen in the aforementioned competitors, not nothing too dramatic .
the legacy that after 20 years, we have received the Vocaltec Internet Phone , the first software of voice calls over the Internet.
In development
