Over 1 Billion Calls Were Made On WhatsApp On New Year’s Eve
To be more specific, the company claims that over 1.4 billion voice and video calls were made on the day itself, making it the most ever calls made in a single day since WhatsApp was launched. They also claim that this is a 50% increase compared to the same day in 2019, which we suppose is not too surprising.
Given the pandemic and with governments advising people to try and hold back on large gatherings, it’s not surprising that many people are turning to virtual methods of “meeting” each other, and WhatsApp seems to be benefiting from this. Right now, the app only supports voice and video calls made through the mobile version of WhatsApp.
However, we have seen some evidence in the beta version of WhatsApp that suggests that voice and video calls could be coming to the desktop version in the near future, although when exactly is anyone’s guess, but it could be a welcome feature for those who primarily communicate through the app.
