With no OTA update yet, the new version is available on the company website.
It's finally here! WhatsApp's new calling feature has finally been released, at least for Android phones. While the new functionality is open to all users, without any invites (or workarounds) required, you need the latest version to access it.
The update hasn't yet been pushed over-the-air but you can download the new version 2.12.19 apk from here or directly from WhatsApp's website. Remember to enable third party apps in your phones Security Settings before you try to install this. Once that's done, the app will reflect the new interface, with a separate tab for Calls at the top, alongside Chats and Contacts.
The Calls tab logs all your incoming, outgoing , and missed Whatsapp calls, and you can make a call while chatting with someone, or through your contact list. The calling feature works like your standard caller, allowing you to switch to speakerphone or mute your mic, as well as displaying a timer. The call receiver will also need the new version for you to be able to call them, however. If the contact is offline or unavailable, you'll hear the phone ring with no answer, and it'll register a missed call for them to see the next time they open the app. This new feature also means that there's no shortcut from within the app anymore to allow you to make a network call.
So far, with both link for the apk being signed off by WhatsApp, it seems like this is the official rollout we were waiting for. Fingers crossed.
