Earlier
this month, WhatApp had started rolling out voice calling feature for
everyone. However, the activation didn’t really go through for several
users and it looked like the invites had been disabled. However, today,
users in India have started receiving the WhatsApp voice feature without
the need for any invite.
If
you’ve still haven’t got the WhatApp voice feature activated , then
here’s what you need to do. Firstly, download version 2.11.528 from the
Play Store or version 2.11.531 from the WhatsApp website. Once you have
the latest version, voice-calling ability can be activated by receiving a
call from someone whose voice-calling is already activated.
The
WhatsApp voice calling feature is available only for Android, and is
expected to make its way to iOS users soon. At the Facebook F8
conference held recently, WhatsApp cofounder Brian Acton said that the
messaging service is preparing to bring the voice calling feature to iOS
users in the coming weeks. It is known that some tech enthusiasts have
already found out ways to activate voice calling on iPhones. However,
that requires jail breaking the iPhone.
Interestingly,
WhatsApp calling seems to be now open to all in India, just when
reports about Trai seeking views to prepare regulatory framework for
Internet-based calling and messaging applications or over-the-top (OTT)
players have started surfacing online.
Those curious about the voice-calling feature for WhatsApp, here’s our first impressions.
