Night Hunter Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 WhatsApp has added a new voice calling feature which allows people to ring other users. The company has released a new version of the app which means people with iPhones can talk to anyone around the world for free. WhatsApp Calling uses an internet connection rather than your mobile phone's voice minutes, like Skype, FaceTime Audio or Viber. The new feature will be rolled out "slowly over the next several weeks". WhatsApp co-founder and CEO Jan Koum previously announced that the messaging app has 800 million users latest iOS version of WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, follows a similar update on Android. As WhatsApp's popularity continues to increase, it's believed the app will continue to experiment with new features.You can not use it to call 999/911 and other emergency services. Some industry experts think that after rolling out voice calling, the company may venture into video calling, something messaging app SnapChat is already experimenting with. The new calling feature had been expected to come to the app after Facebook took over WhatsApp last year. Facebook's Messenger app for iPhone already has a similar calling device.
