WhatsApp testing video call feature

Prasad, 15 May, 2016

It wasn't too long ago that WhatsApp added voice call functionality to its app. Naturally, the company now wants to take it one step further, and introduce video calling.

The latest beta for Android shows an option to video call whenever you try to call someone. Unfortunately, as of now it seems the feature is not enabled to all users, with some getting the 'Video Calling is unavailable at this time' error message, however, some other users are reporting using it.

The feature is currently in testing phase then, and it probably won't be too long before we see it being enabled for everyone across platforms.
