“We're
introducing this feature because we know that sometimes voice and text just
aren't enough. 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”
WhatsApp said in a blog
post on Monday November 15th 2016
WhatsApp
fans it's finally happened, WhatsApp has finally gone supersonic.
On
Monday November 15th 2016, WhatsApp had rolled out video calling as
reported in the article “WhatsApp
launches video-chat challenger to FaceTime, Skype”, published November 14,
2016 by Steven Musil, CNET News.
Announced
on WhatsApp blog in an article entitled “WhatsApp Video
Calling” the feature will be rolled out gradually to their 1 billion users
worldwide, allowing Android, iPhone and Windows devices to video chat
seamlessly.
It's
also a follow on the WhatsApp's launch of Voice calling back in April 2015 as
noted in my blog article entitled “@WhatApp
Voice Calling comes to Version 2.12.1 - How Wi-Fi Calling by Proxy coming to
Jamaica with Features to Boot”.
To
place a video call, use the following procedure:
1.
Open a chat
2.
Click the phone icon
3.
Choose the video call option in the menu
4.
Start talking
So
with this rolled out, Facebook is now on par with Skype and Snapchat and
Facebook Messenger, which already has video chat as detailed in my blog article
entitled “Why
Facebook Messenger Free Video Calling beats Meerkat, Periscope” and
WhatsApp sealing their eventual dominance in this aspect of Mobile Social
Media, with their 1 billion strong users.
Now
if only FLOW Jamaica and Digicel could launch unlimited Data plans as dreamed
up in my Geezam blog article entitled “FLOW Jamaica’s 2 Day
100MB and 3Gb plans coming as Unlimited Plans beckon” we Jamaicans wouldn't have to loiter around
free Wi-Fi hotspots all the time!!
