Android users will definitely be licking their lips when they hear about the good news set to come their way… If the Web Client didn’t make you guys happy enough then watch out for what’s coming next! WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a free voice calling feature just for its Android users.
A Reddit user posted screenshots of the voice calling feature, supposedly accessible in the latest WhatsApp app (v2.11.508) for Android from the company site on a Google Nexus 5 running Android 5.0.1 Lollipop.
The above screenshots indicate that WhatsApp now features a new Calls tab on top, alongside Chats and Contacts, where users can start a call with one of their WhatsApp contacts via the ‘New call’ button on top, similar to the already-present ‘New chat’ button.
The WhatsApp voice-calling UI seen in the screenshots seem to be on par and mostly in-line with earlier screenshots from December but not yet functional. At the moment we can’t say that this is the final product or not as it seems to be in testing phase right now but fingers crossed, hoping his feature arrives to all of us very soon!
