Update: The beta version of WhatsApp Android app now includes video calls. You can grab the latest builds from APKMirror

After Messenger, WhatsApp, Facebook’s another messaging application, is now integrating video calling feature. This feature follows last year’s rollout of voice calling.

Spanish website OneWindows.es has reported that many Windows Phone users are now seeing the option to make video calls in WhatsApp beta app. As this feature has been enabled by adding a server-side change, the users are reporting the changes without any need to re-install the application.

Following the change, after clicking the call button the users are seeing two options — Video and Voice calls. The video call option lets the user select the camera and mute the call.

Sadly, this feature is yet to arrive on Android or iOS devices. After the debut on Windows Phone, media reports suggest that the voice calling feature will be soon pushed to other devices. However, there’s no fixed timeline.
