WhatsApp Voice Calling For Windows Phone: Find Out When Will It Arrive

WhatsApp voice calling is now available without invitations for Android users. Even though WhatsApp is yet to support voice calling for iOS devices, the feature is still accessible through jailbreaking. What about Windows Phone users? It has been revealed through an Italian consumer support forum that the WhatsApp voice calling will be soon hitting Windows Phone devices.

WhatsApp has not launched the voice calling feature for Windows Phone users officially but The Fuse Joplin is of the view that tin order to activate the said feature users are required to install the latest edition of WhatsApp through Windows Phone App Store. It also states that unlike the testing process that involved Android users to send invitations to access voice calling on WhatsApp, all the Windows Phone users may receive the feature in a single phase.

The latest edition of WhatsApp that is currently available on Windows Phone App Store does not support voice calling. In order to try voice calling, users are required to download the beta version of the app. The latest and beta version of WhatsApp can be downloaded from the official website of the app. Since the app is still in beta phase, it is not stable and there are more chances to encounter bugs and performance issues.

Other than WhatsApp call feature, the new edition of the app will also include read receipts and fixes for QR code scanner for accessing WhatsApp through PC by using WhatsApp for Web client. Apart from the Google Chrome browser, it will also bring support for other browsers like Firefox and Opera.

According to another The Fuse Joplin post, the new version of WhatsApp with voice calling support will be released in May. Since the user base of Windows Phone OS is low, most developers are interested in launching apps for popular OS platforms like Android and iOS. Hence, Android users are already using the WhatsApp Call feature and users who already tried making calls through it say it functions quite well and is expected to become much better in the near future.
