Whatsapp will soon launch new voice calling feature

Mobile messaging service WhatsApp has reportedly started rolling out the much awaited voice calling feature to users in India through invitation only. The feature is restricted to Android users with the latest version 2.11.508 of the messenger app.

WhatsApp is reportedly testing the feature and is rolling it out slowly. The new feature is accessible to users only after they receive an invitation from others using the feature. So even if you download the latest version of the app on your device, you will have to wait for someone to roll it out to you or call you. A reddit user first reported the new voice calling feature on his Nexus 5 device running the latest Android lollipop OS.
The screen shots posted by the Reddit users show a new Calls tab along with Chats and Contacts. Users who get the invitation for the feature will be able to see a standard calling interface, with the disconnect button above buttons for speaker, messages, and mute. The call interface is fairly simple, showing the name and WhatsApp image of the person you are calling.

He posted saying that, “I can’t seem to send invites to other people, the only thing I can ensure is that it works in India for people running Lollipop 5.0.x on a Nexus 5. Other Indians without the earlier combo don’t get it.”
