Whatsapp Video call enabled with new Android Update

New beta versions of WhatsApp’s Android app now include a major feature: Video calls.

It’s as easy as you might imagine: pull up a contact in the app, tap the call button and choose ‘Video call’. If the other person has a version of WhatsApp that supports the feature, it’ll launch a FaceTime-like call; if not, you’ll be notified that your contact needs to update their app.

video calling had become available on WhatsApp’s recent beta builds for some users. try installing version 2.16.318 (451462) on a couple of different Android phones .

With more than a billion users already on its network, WhatsApp could effectively ruin the game for Google’s single-purpose app Duo, which only does video calls at the moment.

For that matter, Facebook-owned WhatsApp has been steadily improving its product in the past few months, adding features like user tags in group chats, the ability to draw and add stickers to images a la Snapchat and support for placing calls and composing messages with Siri on iOS devices. It’s even testing a public chat feature that could become available in the near future.

Grab the latest build for Android from APKMirror and give it a go.
