This could be calls through WhatsApp on iPhone
During the Mobile World Congress (Mobile World Congress) held in Barcelona last February, the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of WhatsApp, Jan Koum, dropped the bombshell about what was coming to the messaging app. This is the free voice calls over the Internet A logical step for this tool and that could be just around the corner, ensuring that it would arrive before let the summer begin.Now some images are filtered that could show what this function looks like in iOS
These are images that come directly from version beta or test that WhatsApp has been prepared for iPhone and distributed from the website iPhoneItaliaIn them it is possible to appreciate the appearance of this new function and guess how it can be used. Of course, we must not lose sight of the fact that this is a non-final version,so both the appearance and the operation could vary with respect to the final result. What is known is that it could take a short time to arrive.
The general appearance of the WhatsApp application will not change despite the arrival of the new calling function.Only now the user will be able to start a new voice conversation through a chat, from the contact information. When clicking on the option Call a new screen appears, all taking advantage of the features of iOS 7.1for what can be seen in the filtered images. And it is that the upper bar turns green and the icons are updated to the new design.
A screen very similar to the usual calls from the phone on iPhone appears. However, in the upper part, a label informs that it is a call through WhatsApp, being able to also see the photo and name of the contact being called. On this same screen, but at the bottom, there are other useful buttons. With them it is possible to mute the microphone without pausing the call, click on Message to return to the chat and send some new information (presumably without hanging up the call) and, finally, the ability to use the speaker in hands-free mode.Of course there is also a button to hang up the call.
Another interesting point that has been discovered in this test version of WhatsApp is the introduction of a new icon next to the writing bar This is a shortcut to the function camera to send photographs or videos in a much faster and more direct way. Along with this, we would also be working on the introduction of new wallpapers for the chats. An aspect that seems somewhat abandoned on this platform.
In short, an update that could be just around the corner to present the expected function of calls over the Internet. A logical and almost necessary point to continue offering in the most widespread messaging application in the world all the functions that the user may need when communicating in theirsmartphone
