WhatsApp confirms the arrival of video calls

Now yes. After several weeks of rumors and conjectures, WhatsApp confirms the arrival of the video calls to your application. Of course, it does so in a very subtle way and only showing the little leg under the door, since, for the moment, it is only known that the function will finally land on the service, but without yet seeing its final appearance or operation One step, however, before finally uncovering this feature that users around the world already have weeks waiting to see

This confirmation does not come through the official blog or through an application update, as usual, but through your translation service A tool where users volunteers from all over the world donate their time and linguistic knowledgeto locate the functions, texts and buttons of the application to each language Another of the usual sources of news for WhatsApp, since they inform about functions before they land in the application. This is the case of video calls, whose phrases and buttons are now available to translate from English to Spanish in the WhatsApp version for iPhone, apparently, the first platform to enjoy these video calls

These lines show the basic commands that can be seen soon in the application WhatsApp related to the aforementioned video calls Issues such as the Video call button, Video call to (contact), Missed video call, Missed video call at (time) and Change cameraElements that denote the direction of this new function, although without showing anything really new and flashy at the moment. And it is that, seen what has been seen, WhatsApp will integrate this function together with calls over the Internet, allocating an exclusive button for it, but recording in a history all the videosorincoming and outgoing calls All with the ability to switch between the front and rear camerasof the terminal during the video call, according to what can be deduced from the translation system.

For the time being visual confirmation is missing, as it is unknown what this feature will look like within WhatsAppSomething that only time and the alpha and beta test versions will reveal weeks before its arrival for all users. This shouldn't take long if the feature has already made it to the translation center. So, without being able to confirm an arrival date, hopefully we are just a few weeks away from starting to see more data on this feature

So far, only rumors had confirmed the presence of video calls in the application WhatsApp A logical step in its recent evolution, which seems to have stepped on the accelerator with constant updates to introduce functions and features already seen in other messaging applications such as Facebook Messenger or Telegram And it is that WhatsApp was falling behind as soon as to possibilities, despite continuing to be the most used application in the world.

Now all we have to do is wait a little longer to find out new details about these video calls Meanwhile, don't fall for scams and other problems related to this long-awaited function, such as the one reported yesterday by the Internet User Security Office In it, users were prompted by a message to share data as the phone number in order to supposedly activate this feature in your application. Something that only led to the subscription of messages High-rate SMS At the moment, WhatsApp does not have video calls or any form of activate them
