WhatsApp starts to talk

by on31 March 2015


Everyone's talking at me, can't hear a world they are saying...

WhatsApp has commenced rollout of its voice calling feature to all users on Android.

The feature is automatically enabled to all users updating to version 2.12.5 of WhatsApp via the Play Store, which brings a revamped user interface sporting three tabs: Calls, Chats and Contacts.

All you have to do is tap the dialler icon that is available in-chat, or heading to the Calls tab and selecting a contact you wish to call. Both parties need to be on the latest version of the app for the voice calling feature to work.

The call function turns WhatsApp into a Skype without pictures, although it still cannot call landlines yet and you have to pay for it. Or at least I am supposed to but haven't yet.
