WhatsApp officially launched video calling updates few days go, and the video call feature has been rolled out to Android, iPhone, and Windows users. The Updated WhatsApp with support for video calling for Android and iPhone has officially been released, so you simply need to update your WhatsApp to be able to use the video calling feature to make your first video call.

If your iOS or Android device is not set to receive automatic updates, or if you are not sure if WhatsApp has been updated, simply go to the App Store or Google Play and check for available updates manually.

“We’re introducing this feature because we know that sometimes voice and text just aren’t enough. There’s no substitute for watching your grandchild take her first steps, or seeing your daughter’s face while she’s studying abroad. And we want to make these features available to everyone, not just those who can afford the most expensive new phones or live in countries with the best cellular networks,” said WhatsApp in a blog post.
