Some good news in this time of chaos all around! The most popular messaging app WhatsApp officially introduced video calling for its over 1 billion users worldwide on iOS, Android and Windows platform.
“We are introducing this feature because we know that sometimes voice and text just aren't enough. And we want to make these features available to everyone, not just those who can afford the most expensive new phones or live in countries with the best cellular networks,” WhatsApp said in a blog post.
To try out this feature, users can press the call button on the top right corner in a chat which will bring up two options: voice call or video call. To place a video call, click on the option from the screen. Users can also simply switch between the rear and front camera, mute conversations and disconnect the call as well.
While Facebook Messenger users have enjoyed voice calls for over a year and a half, many popular messaging apps like still don't offer the feature. With over one billion users, WhatsApp's video calls can connect people all over the world.
