WhatsApp video calls are now available to everyone

How to make WhatsApp video calls

Making a video call is just like making an audio call: open a call chat with the person you want to contact and then select the Video Call option. The other person, for now, will also need the beta version of the app installed, or else you'll just get an error message.

Once the call is launched, you can see and hear your correspondent. It will take us a further testing to see the actual video quality but at first glance it looks pretty good. Luis used a Xiaomi Redmi 3 and I used a Nexus 6P, ie rather good smartphones.

With a simple tap on the screen, you can access your messages, for example within the application, or return to the menu and use your smartphone for other purposes while continuing your call. Of course, if you do not keep the display of the call on the screen you can not see the caller but only hear the audio. To see him/her again, simply reopen the window.

You can download the latest version of WhatsApp version 2.16.352 and get started on it right now. But remember, you must be a beta user. If you're a beta user and are still unable to make calls with the new version then you should delete the data and cache from the app. Be sure to save your data before you do this because it will be erased.
