After multiple flip-flops, WhatsApp has finally
released the voice-calling feature for all Android users. You will need
to download version 2.11.528 from the Play Store or version 2.11.531
from the WhatsApp website.
According to AndroidPolice,
the voice-calling can be activated is by receiving a call from someone
whose voice-calling is already activated. After you get the call, you
need to close and then reopen the app. After that, instead of seeing the
most recent chats, you will get three tabs namely Calls, Chats and
Contacts. The call tab shows incoming, outgoing and missed calls at the
precise times.
This time around WhatsApp has decided to keep the invite-window open
for longer duration. Unlike some weeks back when WhatsApp had kept the
invite-window open only for a couple of hours.
WhatsApp has been beta-testing the
voice-calling feature for quite a while now. We had earlier seen, how
WhatsApp was testing this calling feature in India. A Reddit userpradnesh07,
even got the feature activated on his phone. According to the images
posted, users who receive the voice-calling feature will notice an icon
for it, beside the Chats and Contacts tabs. The call interface seems to
quite similar to a smartphone’s contact directory. The app keeps a
record of recent WhatsApp calls as well.
Last week we read about a malware
which was promising access to the WhatsApp voice-calling feature.
According to the Daily Star, if users clicked on a link, they were taken
to another website where they were asked to take a survey on behalf of
the popular messaging service. However, the survey forces people to
download applications and software that might contain dangerous malware.
