WhatsApp has changed the way we communicate. Few years back, people communicated through calls and text messages, but ever since the advent of this application, people “Whatsapp” each other. The application has stormed into everyone’s lives, and mobile phone users seem to be addicted to it. The best part about Whatsapp is that, it allows the users to send free messages, stickers, emoticons, songs, videos, location, pictures, and voice recordings from any part of the world. The application is very user friendly, and everyone seems to be a pro at using it. However, the absence of the voice calling feature has always been a setback for this app. People have been craving to have a voice calling feature in Whatsapp, so that they can make free calls from their phones to other WhatsApp users.
Since February this year, there have been rumours that Whatsapp is going to add the voice calling feature to the app really soon, and the CEO of the company, Jan Kuom confirmed this news. At present, it is being said that the voice calling feature will first be launched in iOS followed by android. Later the feature will be added to other OS like Microsoft, Blackberry, Nokia, etc. The voice calling addition is going to take this app to an all new height. This feature of the app that is nearing its launch is going to be a massive game-changer, not only for Whatsapp but other similar apps too.
Whatsapp already offers a number of features, which have been well received by the users. However, the inclusion of this feature means that it will give a tough time to other voice calling apps. It is already the world’s most popular messaging app and has more than 600 million current users, globally. The voice calling feature will only ascend the number to newer heights. Ever since Facebook has bought this app, there have been a number of changes made to it, and this new feature is expected to be absolutely path breaking.
Whatsapp is a much loved app with the young and old alike, because it is really simple to use. The addition of the voice messaging feature had made it even more popular, but the expectations from the upcoming feature are much higher. Whatsapp has always been one of the biggest players in the apps market, because of its immense popularity and varied features. The quick and easy updates clear the glitches of the previous update, to make the operating system even better.
With so many competitors in the app market, Whatsapp has always been successful in holding its ground. This is simply because of the wide number of users and also because of simple OS, which comes packed with a number of features. With so many users in different corners of the world, the voice calling feature will cover geographical distances even more, to bring people closer. It has already become a very important part in the daily lives of people globally and the upcoming feature will be an added advantage.
