WhatsApp Voice Calling Feature Lands to iOS

WhatsApp, a popular cross platform messaging app that killed text messages long time ago is now ready to kill Phone app in the iOS.

iPhone users can now make voice calling on WhatsApp as well. The feature had already been running successfully to Android smart phones. The latest iOS version of WhatsApp 2.12.1 brings voice-calling to the app.

The app will use your internet connection to make these calls and data charges may apply. Also even if you update the app today, you might not have access to the voice calling feature just yet as WhatsApp says it will roll out the update slowly over the next few weeks.

The story is not over yet as the new 2.12.1 update now also includes share extension for sharing photos, videos or links using sharing button in other apps. You can also take videos directly from WhatsApp quick access button to camera. You can also send multiple videos at once.

The update requires iOS 6.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone 5, 5S, 6 and iPhone 6 plus.
