WhatsApp’s call feature will entirely change the way of Voice Calling

In September this year, WhatsApp claimed that the app was being prepared to roll out a voice calling feature to compete with messaging apps that already provide the feature.  Facebook, Viber and Skype all support voice calling already but with different implementations. Facebook allows you to call over the internet to other Facebook Messenger users. Viber and Skype allow you to call any number but for a fee.
As the year is winding down, so are the rumors about the calling feature. Dutch blog Android World dissected the code for WhatsApp beta and found files, images and text that will likely be used for the final version of voice calling in WhatsApp. The screenshots don’t show anything dramatic and it looks just like Android’s old dialer. When you’re in a call, you’ll see buttons to switch to speaker, send the call to a Bluetooth headset, reply with text and a mute button.

 Android World speculates that the calling feature will be separated so your calls and chats are in their separate feeds. The site also says you’ll be able to record calls for playing back later, though the legality of such a feature makes me question if it’ll make it into the final version of the app. Things can change, of course, so take these screenshots with a grain of salt. We’ll find out for sure what it’ll look like when WhatsApp releases the feature in the near future.
