We often recommend WhatsApp to many of our mobile customers, and now the free app has gotten even better. After months of leaks and rumours, WhatsApp is now formally rolling out it’s new feature for everyone – group voice and video calls!
WhatsApp now supports group calls for up to 4 people at once, making it handy for calling family and friends abroad in several locations or even for making work calls.
Below are the steps that you need to take to make group calls. If you try it for yourself and can’t see the new feature, you may have to update the app.
How To Use WhatsApp’s Group Calls
- Open WhatsApp and click on the ‘calls’ tab
- Select the phone icon on the bottom right corner to start a call as normal
- Select the first participant and choose whether you want to make a voice or video call
- There is now an ‘add participant’ button in the top right corner that looks like a person with a plus symbol
- Select the second person you’d like to add to the call
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have up to 4 people connected
