WhatsApp call feature you’ve been dying for is finally here… if you use Android

The WhatsApp Call feature brings unlimited voice calling to users with an Android device and the app update can be downloaded directly from the company’s website, in case it’s not already available via the Google Play Store.

Rolled out for testing a few weeks ago, the feature was available to any WhatsApp user who either received an invite for it or a call from someone with access to it. Whatsapp voice calling is now out and won’t require a third party invite.

To get it activated;

1: Download the latest version of WhatsApp for Android: You can do so either from the Google Play Store or Whatsapp’s website.

2: Install and watch the magic happen:

Upon installation, the app’s interface will reflect the call log tab from which calls can be initiated to your Whatsapp contacts.

Though some news platforms report that the feature is only available on the 2.12.19, we discovered that the 2.12.5 also supports the feature.

The new release is limited to Android devices and while iOS users will have to wait for “several week”, according to a report from venturebeat, nothing is being said about the other mobile operating systems.
