WhatsApp voice calls on active iPhones within 2 weeks

WhatsApp voice calls on active iPhones within 2 weeks

The wait is almost over for iOS users. Within two weeks, WhatsApp voice calls on iPhone will finally be available. Thus, the most used instant messaging application in the world will extend the Voip service, already active on Android, to other platforms.

Calls on WhatsApp are appearing slowly, without being very clear how the company handles them. New users are added every day, although you can only activate the service if you receive a phone call from someone who has already activated it (and it doesn’t always work). Probably, behind this ” slow release ” of voice calls, WhatsApp hides a strategy to attract the curiosity of users, trying to generate a sort of viral effect (similar to what Google did with Gmail).

For now, however, the ability to make calls between WhatsApp users (over 3G / 4G or Wi-Fi networks, and at no additional cost beyond the Internet, such as with Skype and others) is only available for Android and BlackBerry 10 users. .

IPhone and Windows Phone users will be able to access this service in the coming weeks. Brian Acton, one of the creators of WhatsApp, said during Facebook’s F8 conference that for WhatsApp voice calls on the iPhone we will have to wait at most ” a couple of weeks “, as reported by VentureBeat . No news on the availability of the Web version of WhatsApp for this operating system.

In the case of Windows Phone , one of the Italian translators of the application confirmed that he had received the request from WhatsApp to translate the text strings relating to voice calls, as reported by the specialized site WindowsSteca . In the email received, it also emerges that the company is working on a version that improves the control of the read receipt and the QR code scanner for the web.

Voice calls on Whatsapp are identical to those available on other services (Skype, Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Viber and many others), but WhatsApp has ensured that the quality of calls through its application will have a higher quality , which is why we had to wait a few more weeks for activation.
