WhatsApp: Group Video, Voice Calling Feature is Now Available for Users

Representational Picture

WhatsApp has launched new feature of group calling with both voice and video support for iOS and Android users. Now up to four people simultaneously can do live video and voice chatting, irrespective of where they are.

In May this year during Facebook’s F8 developer conference, WhatsApp announced that it would be bringing group calling feature later on this year.

The company says it engineered the feature to work under less-than-stellar network conditions, so you can video chat a friend or family member from a far-flung locale so long as you can get yourself online. Calls are also end-to-end encrypted, like all chats on the platform.

WhatsApp has already announced that it has 1.5 billion monthly users earlier this year and it has first launched video chatting in 2016 and voice calling way back in 2014, and now its users spend a total of 2 billion minutes per day talking on the phone.
