WhatsApp calls are now active for all Android users
After several weeks of tests, rumors and bad practices to achieve this long-awaited function, finally WhatsApp has decided to open the doors so that all users can start to call through what, until now, was the most widespread messaging application among users of smartphonesOf course, at the moment this feature is only available through terminals with the Android operating system, although it is no longer necessary to wait to receive one of these calls to start to use the service.
Thus, for a few hours many users and technology media have been echoing this fact on social networks and their own web pages. And it is that, without prior notice, WhatsApp has set aside its restrictive system of invitations to welcome all users who want to test calls from your service That is, it is no longer necessary to search for any user who has the function and request call to activate it. Nor wait for the key moments in which WhatsApp allowed activation through calls. Now they are available to everyone, openly. And what is better, without having to carry out any configuration
In this way, many users have been surprised to access WhatsApp and find a new design that divides the previous single chat screen into three tabs One for the record of calls, being able to know all the incoming and outgoing calls to via WhatsApp Another for regular chats or conversations. And finally, a third one to quickly access the list of all available contacts. Either to start a written or oral conversation. Also, if you have a device updated to Android 5.0 or Lollipop, your profile pictures change to circular format
