I wanted audio messages on Slack before video calling on Whatsapp, but hey, I’m sure video calling on Whatsapp is a big deal for a lot of people. You’ll be pleased to know it’s coming soon, there’s just one problem.
It’s only for Android phones.
I feel ill.
It’s so nice they rewarded the world’s dominant Android supplier, Samsung – the people behind the most life-threatening phones ever created – with video calling on Whatsapp.
Can you tell I’m an Apple user?
Let’s see what Mashable has to say about this nonsense:
You already send text messages and make voice calls with WhatsApp, now you can also make video calls through the app — provided you’ve an Android phone, for now.
Though the company hasn’t begun advertising this yet, but new beta versions of its Android app come with the ability to make video calls. If you and your friend are both on the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android, you will now see “Video Call” and “Voice Call” options when you hit the dialer button on top. Do note that the feature is still in early stage, so the video feed could stutter at times.
I guess it’s nice that Android users can have a glimpse of what Apple users have been enjoying with Facetime. No wonder I didn’t pee my pants when I read the headline.
But remember, my desperate friends, you have to jump through all sorts of hoops before you can download that new version of Whatsapp.
To get this feature, you will need to grab the latest beta version of WhatsApp. The company maintains an official beta testing program on Google Play, and one can sign up for it by tapping the “Become a Tester” button. Alternatively, you can also download the latest beta build of WhatsApp from third-party site APKMirror. The website offers Google-signed apps. Ensure that you snag version 2.16.318 or higher of WhatsApp.
Sounds like a nightmare.
