WhatsApp voice call feature is now seems to be available officially. This feature is now available to all Android users. One of the most popular app with over 600 million active users only introduced this feature recently and started using 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?
You’ll need to enable Unknown Sources in your Security settings first and get a call from someone you know that already has the WhatsApp voice calling feature enabled. You’ll then see three tabs at the top of your WhatsApp interface: calls, chats and contacts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
