WhatsApp offers new clues about its calling function
Definitely, on WhatsApp they don't relax for a second. And it is that, despite the fact that the past months there were hardly any news, for some time now the new functions and rumors have not stopped arriving. Whether in the form of double blue check, revolutionizing users who felt that their privacy it was seen in danger, or with rumors about what is to come. And precisely, delving into the latter, a new fact shows that the long-awaited and long-delayed call function is just around the corner.
The Android platform is once again the first to offer these details. And it is that its accessible beta or test version includes the new functions and characteristics of the most widespread messaging service in the world before any other application. But no, it's still not the function calls itself, but one of the add-on tools that, apparently, will arrive with them: the these counter
This is a new section discovered in version beta of WhatsApp and numbered as 2.11. 481 It is found within the menu Network use, which in turn is found within Account Info A place that, to date, shows the number of messages sent and received, in addition to the Internet data consumed both when sending and when received.Data that will also be specified in future versions of WhatsApp in direct reference to calls made through this service.
In the renewed menu it is possible to see up to a total of five new counters One of them records the number of calls (calls) sent, while another shows the number of incoming calls In addition, two other counters focus on record the volume of Internet data consumed both in said outgoing calls and those that are receivedFinally, a total counter shows the amount of data in bytes consumed by this service .
This is a reference menu that may well end up going unnoticed, but it is useful for those users who have to millimeter bytes and MB that consume to avoid being overcharged by their operatorsAnd it is still pending to see how they react to a function that could unseat them in the field of calls as has been the case for years with the SMS Keep in mind that they are the ones who grant or not the use of the protocol VoIP through the that surfs the Internet by voice, although the main ones seem to have given way to other applications that already use these services such as Viber
In short, a job by WhatsApp that continues constant, although its results are still waiting. The call function of this application was expected for this summer, but its managers ended up confirming its delay until January 2015 due to technical problems Something that has not stopped its work , and that it could be close to its end. Something that only time will confirm. The new version of WhatsApp Beta is now available for free through the official website of this service Only for Android
