After promising to deliver voice calling capabilities back in 2014, WhatsApp has finally delivered, introducing Voice over IP features in its latest update. With the new version of the app, it's possible for WhatsApp users to call friends and family directly within the app using a Wi-Fi or cellular connection at ** cost.
The introduction of Voice Calling to the Facebook-owned WhatsApp app puts it on par with Facebook's other messaging app, Facebook Messenger, which gained Voice Calling back in 2013. It also allows the app to better compete with other iOS-based VoIP Calling options like Skype and FaceTime Audio.
Today's WhatsApp update also brings a few other features, including the iOS 8 share extension for sharing videos, photos, and links to WhatsApp from other apps, contact editing tools, and the ability to send multiple videos at one time.
