WhatsApp
has
finally integrated voice call functionality into the world’s most
popular instant messaging app. The WhatsApp call feature has finally
been made available to anyone with the very latest version of the
app. Be warned though that there is a new WhatsApp
voice calling scam going
around. Here's how to safely get WhatsApp
voice calls on
your phone.
How to enable Whats App voice calls
Important:
Be
warned that there is a new WhatsApp
calling scam doing
the rounds. Read up, be wary and spread the word.
The
ability to activate voice calls on WhatsApp finally seems to be here
for keeps. To get it, you need to update your WhatsApp app to at
least v2.11.561. The official WhatsApp
website now
has v2.12.7 (versions before v2.11.561 failed to enable WhatsApp
voice calls for us reliably, whereas v2.11.561 has worked first try
on several devices, as has v2.12.7).
You’ll
need to enable Unknown Sources in your Security settings first and
get a call from someone you know that already has the WhatsApp voice
calling feature enabled. You'll then see three tabs at the top of
your WhatsApp interface: calls, chats and contacts.
The
calls tab will show you a detailed call log and in any chat with a
WhatsApp contact you'll find that the dialer icon at the top now
makes calls direct via WhatsApp and not the regular dialer. We've
tested the latest version with several phones and they all worked
first try, so it looks like the wait is finally over and WhatsApp
voice calls are here for everyone. Still, there's no need to wait for
the right version to hit the Play Store is there?
How to enable Whats App voice calls (with root)
In
case none of this is still working for you, there is another way for
rooted users to force the feature onto their phones, but it is a bit
of a pain, as you’ll need to be connected to your PC and open a
terminal every time you want to WhatsApp call someone (until it is
enabled permanently for you). Read More.....
