There is nothing that has been extremely good for the more than 700 million WhatsApp users than hearing of the news of the release of a WhatsApp voice calling feature for all platforms. At the moment though, this feature is only available in beta and not all users can access it directly by downloading the latest version from the official app store of their devices. This news will also come in to silence the critics who have in the past claimed that WhatsApp was missing on a very important market segment by omitting the voice calling services from its platform. Much of this criticism started fading away when Facebook took over WhatsApp and a string of changes started flowing in. WhatsApp has finally hit the mark that many expected by introducing the free voice calling feature. However, there is still no news of the free video calling ability since the currently rolling out voice calling feature is still in beta. WhatsApp latest version with voice calls is still free to download One thing that has very much contributed to the popularity of WhatsApp free download is its availability as a free to download and install app. Despite the introduction of a new WhatsApp voice calling feature, there is nothing that has changed as far as this instant free messaging app being free is concerned. You will now be able to make free voice calls to all of your friends who are using the app as well as send free instant messages to them. These messages include voice notes, videos, pictures as well as texts. WhatsApp comes with a bunch of emoticons and stickers all of which can be used in conversations to make them more fun and livelier. Even though the current voice calling feature is only available on Android devices, installing this application on iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Symbian and Bada is very easy. All you need is a mobile phone number and that’s it. Setting up the app also takes minutes and you will be ready to start making free WhatsApp voice calls as well as send messages. Why WhatsApp free calling feature is still in beta As noted earlier, the new WhatsApp voice calling feature is available but only for Android users. Furthermore, this feature is still in beta and what this means is that the feature is still being tested on a number of devices in order to find out if there are still any bugs affecting the smooth functioning of the feature on all platforms. This is a perfect way of introducing a new feature as you must first of all see how it works and how the public embraces its use. Using some of the feedback from those using the app, it is possible to make necessary amends and roll out the best and most perfect feature for all users. Measures that are being taken care of include security, performance as well as quality of calls. If there are any issues in the functionality of the feature, it is very easy for people to ditch the app in favor of a better working app.   When to expect WhatsApp voice calling feature stable version The official launch of the new WhatsApp voice calling feature is not known yet. However, what can be assured is that the date will depend on how long the tests will take. Considering the number of users using this app, this might take some time before it is fully certified to be perfect and ready for official release. Better still, this is not expected to go beyond this year and all users of WhatsApp, be it android, iOS, Windows Phone and other supported mobile operating systems, will have this feature installed and fully functioning on their devices. Whether WhatsApp will introduce this feature to make voice calls on WhatsApp Web PC client is also not known, just the same way the video calling feature release date is not known. However, time will tell. Keep following us and we will keep you updated on the latest news about developments in WhatsApp voice and video calls and related features.
