WhatsApp calls also reach BlackBerry
In WhatsApp we are already accustomed to a slow and safe pace. Proof of this is the recent system of invitations for their long-awaited calls, of which there has not yet been an official presentation. And it is that they like to take slow but firm steps, when everything is insured. Perhaps that is why they have not yet announced anything about the arrival of this function to the operating system BlackBerry 10,where many users can now make free calls over the Internet.
Thus, for a few hours now, users of a BlackBerry device have started to see a new icon on your chat screens This is the phone icon, which activates the call function. In other words, several users have begun to have this function through the limited and sometimes criticized invitation system With this, calls begin to circulate throughBlackBerry 10, just as it has been on the Android platform for a few weeks.
Its operation is similar to that seen in Android And it is that WhatsApp for BlackBerry 10 respects the application structure. The only thing that appears new is the call icon, with which to launch a new call to the contact of the conversation in which you are.Just by clicking on it, the WhatsApp call screen appears, very similar to the usual calls. The difference is that, in this case, the voice is transmitted over the Internet, so there is no charge. Of course, you must always pay attention to have a good Internet connection to ensure high sound quality and avoid delays in the conversation in the way of the possible.
It is at least curious that WhatsApp has decided to welcome BlackBerry to the exclusive group of platforms that have their expected calls. And it is that, although WhatsApp can show its chest for being present on all mobile platforms at the moment, it cannot be said that BlackBerry is one of the majority, having entered a great decline in recent years, and focusing mainly on the business field in recent times.Of course, it can be a good measure to continue expanding your calls in a progressive and controlled manner.
Meanwhile, Windows Phone and iPhone users, who are in the majority compared to BlackBerry 10, should continue to look forward to this feature. That yes. Those responsible for WhatsApp have already stated that they are working on bringing calls in the coming weeks to iOS In fact, some people already have them through the beta version of the application, although carrying out processes that imply disrupting their operation through JailBreak
At the moment we will still have to wait so long for the rest of the platforms to receive this long-awaited function, as well as its official presentation by WhatsAppCalls that can make mobile operators nervous, and that are going to give a lot of talk in the coming months.
