WhatsApp calls for Windows Phone
As usual, and unfortunately for many, the Windows Phone platform continues to be late. And it is almost always the third option for developers and creators of games and applications , delaying its releases several months compared to Android or iOS or even leaving it off the hook. Something that also happens with WhatsApp, despite being an application that seeks to reach all corners.However, after several months of using the calls in the platform challenge, it is not yet known when they will reach Windows Phone Of course, now there are new clues that indicate that they could be very close.
And it is that WhatsApp has released a new version of its application for this platform. Of course, it is a beta or test version That is, limited to a small number of users who have access to its news, among which, for Finally, there are the expected WhatsApp calls Something that only shows that they are testing this communication system in the application, and that it will arrive in future versions to the rest of users. Although at the moment there is no official date.
This is version 2.WhatsApp 12.38 A version that already includes a new tab for the application and the expected call function. In this way betatesters or test users can begin to test how these free calls sound over the Internet with other users A very limited feature since they would still be testing it before bringing it to the general public. The question is how long will it take to perform these tests and if, once successfully completed, will they be made available to all users or will use the invitation system again seen in the case of Android a few months ago. Issues that only time will tell, since WhatsApp is completely hermetic against comments and assumptions.
But it is not the only novelty. version 2.12.34 was also recently released in its beta or test stateA change that did not provide any information about calls, but other interesting features. For example, renewed buttons that subtly change their shape and iconography to share content in a chat, delete messages or forward them. All this being able to select specific messages one by one in the conversations.
However, with this update, those users who have access to the beta or test platform, have also complained about a excessive battery consumption due to WhatsApp, in addition to other general operating problems. Details that indicate that they would be working on something more than the visual aspect of the application, touching their guts or codes, perhaps to introduce free calls.
Issues that, again, are only in the beta version and that could delay its arrival for the rest of the users of the platform. For this reason, and unfortunately, as usual, it will be necessary to wait to see if WhatsApp refines the operation of all these details quickly to offer all users the expected calls.
