"WhatsApp" Will Soon Support Voice Calling

"WhatsApp" May be a Super Popular Way to Send and Receive Text Messages but, there’s still One Feature that it Lacks: Voice Calling. Well, that will Change in the Very Near Future. Yes that’s Right, Voice Calling is Coming Soon to "WhatsApp" so, Users will be Able to Call Friends and Family instead of Texting them (if Only there was Another Way of Doing that). The Information Comes from "WhatsApp", Albeit Indirectly. First Spotted by the Folks at NDTV Gadgets, an iOS Permissions Alert is the One that Revealed the upcoming Feature. If you Haven’t Given "WhatsApp" Access to your Microphone, the App will Notify you by Saying “WhatsApp requires microphone access to send Voice Messages, record Videos with sounds, make and receive Voice Calls”. The Feature Seems to Already be Coded Inside the App but, it’s Not Yet Functional. There’s No Official Word on When it Might Go Live but, Judging by the Evidence it Won’t be Long Now and it will Probably Come to iOS Devices First. "WhatsApp" is a Very Popular Messaging Service in Many Parts of the World and was Recently Acquired by Facebook for $16 Billion.
