WhatsApp has announced an upgrade of its platform: it’s over one
billion users will not just be able to make audio calls, they will also
be able to do so by video.
The latest feature will be operational in a few days and it will be available across iOS, Windows and Android platforms.
“We’re introducing this feature because we know that sometimes voice
and text just aren’t enough. There’s no substitute for watching your
grandchild take her first steps, or seeing your daughter’s face while
she’s studying abroad. And we want to make these features available to
everyone, not just those who can afford the most expensive new phones or
live in countries with the best cellular networks,” said a WhatsApp
spokesman.
“Over the years we’ve received many requests from our users for video
calling, and we’re excited to finally offer this feature to the world.
Thank you for using WhatsApp and we promise to keep working hard every
day to improve the service.” Video Call on WhatsApp
WhatsApp’s goal has always been to help as many people as possible
stay in touch with friends, family, and others they care about. That
means making a product that’s simple, easy to use, and accessible no
matter where you are.
The company started with messaging and Group Chat, then added voice
calling, in a way that works across thousands of device and platform
combinations all over the world.
More than 1 billion people in over 180 countries use WhatsApp to stay
in touch with friends and family, anytime and anywhere. WhatsApp is
free and offers simple, secure, reliable messaging and calling,
available on phones all over the world.
WhatsApp which started as an alternative to SMS was founded by Jan
Koum and Brian Acton who had previously spent 20 years combined at
Yahoo.
WhatsApp joined Facebook in 2014, but continues to operate as a
separate app with a focus on building a messaging service that works
fast and reliably anywhere in the world.
