WhatsApp and Instagram will have group video calls

Mark Zuckerberg's company has just announced at its annual F8 conference that both WhatsApp and Instagram will have group video calls According to reports As explained by those responsible for the company, Instagram users will soon have a button accessible from which they can start instant video calls.

It will be a camera icon and will be available for both individual and small group conversations. It's a great way to help groups of friends talk to each other without having to leave your favorite social network.

However, it should be noted that there will be limitations. Those responsible for Facebook have warned that video calls or group chats will be prepared for small groups And although they have not specified the number of participants, everything indicates that they will be only four. This is, at least, what the leaked screenshots reveal.

Group Video Calls for WhatsApp and Instagram

If you are interested in trying WhatsApp and Instagram video calls now, you should know that you will still have to wait a bit to get it. Because testing is currently underway and rollout of this feature won't happen until later. Fortunately, the novelty is expected to arrive in just a few weeks. And it will do so in the form of an update.

Thus, both Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram are in danger of becoming three very similar tools. Because all three, to begin with, will have this group chat system.

What is still not clear is how WhatsApp and Instagram will manage the privacy of these calls. So that, if possible, not everyone has the ability to send calls to people they don't know Or to contacts they don't even follow or have limited your privacy.
