WhatsApp officially adds video calling functionality

15 November 2016
You have to assume that by far the most requested feature for WhatsApp has to have been video calling. The Facebook-owned service wasn't the first to add voice calls to its app, and it definitely isn't the first to do video calls. But now, after betas, pulled betas, and some more betas, the feature has finally been officially unveiled.

Sort by:

Skype is officially dead if this Whatsapp video call version takes over. I mean, its free. Use phone numbers. Easy to use. Very direct and user friendly. Though Im not sure of the quality. This thing must be good with some of those smartphones that have 16mp front cam.

      Facebook started killing Twitter than they start copying features form snapchat to Instagram and now ending Skype for good with video calling to whatsapp.

                  I hate the promotional images and videos on video chats. The quality shown is like two full frame cameras connected by a hard line to the phone screens. In real life, not even the rear camera's can make anything close to what's shown and even if it did, the actual quality of the video received at the other end is many times worse.

                    Then the rest of the social app will follow the same thing. Facebook will habe video call. Instagram will have videocall. Everything unrelated will habe video call. Just like the ridiculous Live Video stuff that going on.

                          it's already available when I checked a minute ago...

                          just click phone icon, and it will choices use video or voice...
