>From siddu, Whats App i Phone app gets voice calling button. The calling button is placed just next to the contact's name and profile picture on the top.. It looks like Whats App is all set to rollout the voice calling feature to users of its Android as well as i Phone app.. Following reports of the calling feature being included in Whats App's new Android build (2.11.508), the app's latest i OS update now introduces a calling button within the chat window.. The calling button is placed just next to the contact's name and profile picture on the top.. However, at the moment the app uses the i OS Phone dialler for making an outgoing call.. It seems Whats App will soon enable native internet calling for users of the i OS app as well.. Interestingly, the changelog of the update does not mention the inclusion of the button.. It just mentions addition of support for Dynamic Type (Variable font sizes) throughout the app, and introduction of a quick camera button in chats to quickly insert a recent camera roll picture.. According to Whats App CEO Jan Koum, the delay in rolling out voice calling feature was due to technical hurdles that developers were facing.. He had said that the service had been delayed till Q1 2015, speaking at an industry conference in October.. The voice calling feature will bring Whats App in direct clash with apps like We Chat, Viber and Line that already allow users to make calls and send messages..
