According to the broadcast posted on WhatsApp’s Facebook page, by Jan Koum the chief executive of WhatsApp, the users that have been using this app has reached the 800 million breaking point. Pretty impressive right? WhatApp has just included the voice calling element for the Android alternative. And don’t worry, WhatsApp will also soon launch this feature for iOS devices and Windows mobile phones.
Based on several rumors, it seems that the voice call feature for those operating on a Windows Phone will include: ignore and mute features, end call, incoming call and so on. Even if whispers are spreading fast all over the internet, there hasn’t been an official date for this launch. The International Business Times predicts that this feature will be accessible for Windows Phone gizmos, starting with the month of May. So what’s the hold-up you might ask? Well, it seems that those working on the features wish to make it accessible for iOS and Android, since a large number of people seem to be operating on these platforms.
