Whatsapp’s free calling feature is a much talked about topic ever since its release a few months ago. First made available on Android, it made its way to the iOS App soon enough, leaving behind the Windows phone users. Now, their wait has finally ended, as they also get the voice calling feature on their devices.
The latest update on Whatsapp for Windows phones is version 2.12.60.0. It is available for Windows phones supporting Windows 8 and above. Along with the voice calling feature via VOIP, it also incorporates the ability to send audio files. The voice feature had been rolled out in May for Beta testers before making the final release.
Whatsapp released the calling feature on Android phones in the month of March 2015. The iOS and Blackberry 10 Apps received the feature by April 2015. It was only the Windows phone users who could not make or accept calls via this messaging App. The company had revealed earlier that Windows users will be receiving the update in April. The upcoming addition via a support team email was sent to the users to suggest that work was going on to release the feature. No specific timeframe was predicted back then.
With the Whatsapp calling feature, you can now call your friends and family absolutely free of cost. It does not matter if you are in another city or even another country. The internet connection on your phone is used to make the all instead of the voice minutes on your phones plan. It can be 2G, 3G, EDGE, 4G, or Wi-Fi. The data charges may apply as per you data plan.
The interface on the Windows phone is similar to the one on Android for making the regular calls. Whatsapp previously had the feature of allowing users to make normal voice calls through the App. The latest version released Whatsapp’s own calling feature.
Whatsapp has made it clear that users will not be able to access 911 and other emergency numbers via the calling feature.
So, if you are a Windows phone user and you have not yet used the calling feature, it is high time you download the update and start calling on Whatsapp. Log on to the Windows Phone Store and get the latest version of Whatsapp.
The clarity and effectiveness of the call depends on your internet connectivity and speed. VOIP calls depend on this one factor to a great extent. If you have an appreciable network connection, you are good to go.
Along with the good news for Windows phone users, Android users also have something to get excited about. The new feature on Android phones will allow the users to do an app-wide search. This means that the users will be able to search all the content on the app, including the chats. Until now, the search option only filtered the contacts.
