            Tried Whatsapp video and audio call, and they are too sensitive to bandwidth dropouts (which is common in emerging markets). Even audio calls are not as stable as other services like Line. Skype seems to still be the gold standard in call stability. Google Duo seems pretty good for a newcomer. What I find is that Apple's Facetime to work very well, although it is limited to Apple users only.

                  Quite impressive numbers.

                    It's weird. The selfie video taken in real life is never as sharp and clear as those showed on such advertisement posters. :P

                                Quite lame.. even after having a terrible terrible video call quality people are using it? seriously? Indians has a lot of patience!
                                I am from india and not a single person in my contact used whatsapp video call.. everybody either use Skype or go for Google Duo and some even use IMO (which is a lame and irritating app)!

                                    In India, a smartphone without WhatsApp is rare to find, they do it right with Nokia handset in the early days and never look back...

                                        But 200 million is a small number. Because Whatsapp usage is very common in India. Even my grandparents use it. Also, my maid uses it. :)
