WhatsApp has proven itself that it is more than just a messenger app. Over the years the company has been improving and adding new features that makes it more than just an app that sends and receives messages, such as the the ability to make voice calls, and soon it could even making video calls.
Rumors of WhatsApp working on video calling surfaced as early as last year and references to the feature were spotted in subsequent betas. The good news is that it looks like the feature is pretty close to release because according to users of the latest beta of WhatsApp for Android, the video calling feature is now live.
All users have to do is download the beta of the app and as long as the person that they are calling is also using the latest beta of WhatsApp, you guys should be able to call each other using video. We can’t speak to the quality of the calls since we don’t have the beta, but if it is anything like their voice calls it should be pretty decent.
We’re not sure when the video calling feature will be released, but like we said the fact that it is now live on the beta means that we could be getting close, so hopefully we’ll see it launch in the next couple of days or weeks.
