Some more details about WhatsApp Video Calls
WhatsApp calling (voice) has been there on the phones for quite some time now. It offers good voice quality. The inclusion of video calling as a feature had to happen because there were many other apps which were offering it and WhatsApp could be let others have an edge over itself for long.
However, Android and iOS have been left out of the mix right now. There is no confirmation on when the major platforms will get the update for the feature. This is happening for the first time that an update has been rolled out to the Windows Phone user community first. Otherwise, they are the last one to get the updates.
Anyways, it is not long before Android and iOS users also get the updates. Here too initially the Beta users will get it first. Stay tuned for more updates on the WhatsApp video calls.
