A reddit user – Pradnesh Patil, posted the screenshots of the Whatsapp’s voice calling feature and said, Its like an invite thing, where a person with the call feature needs to “call” another person who wants to start using the feature, it only appears to work for people running Lollipop 5.0.x on a Nexus 5 phone.

The latest build(2.11.508) downloaded from Whatsapp’s Official site, has this feature. As this feature is still in beta mode, not everyone who downloads and install this latest build will get the new feature. WhatsApp hasn’t officially announced the roll-out but with the number of devices supporting the feature, we can anticipate an announcement any time soon. But many people don’t know How to enable it? Let us find out. Before that check out the Minimum requirements to Get this Whatsapp voice calling feature.

Minimum Requirements:

Activate WhatsApp Voice-Calling for iOS Devices

This feature has not yet activated for Windows Phone users. You will get it activated soon.

Voice calling applications aren’t new, apps like Viber, Skype, Line, Hike even support VoIP. But as Whatsapp has highest user count (700 million active users) in social messaging application, it gives a tough competition for its competitors. Whatsapp Voice calling for Windows Phone is still under process, you have to wait for few more days.

  86. Hi Imran,

    Is there any working method for Whatapp calling which doesn’t required to call a person who has already activated the calling feature?
    As I can see here, everyone is posting their mobile no. and can be spammed easily.

    Or you can first activate this facility for yourself and start calling others for the activation. It can help all of us.

    Thanks,
    Sabrez Alam

    Plz Call me on that Number.
    I’m waiting for ur call 😉

  200. Guys !
    I presume that this is because the invites window for the WhatsApp calling have been stopped by the company, and the news that now every Android user can access calling feature is not true. I’ve seen many people (and news websites) posting about activating the calling feature, and how to do it. I must say, it is not available now, and to avail the calling feature everyone must wait until WhatsApp reopens the invites window again. For this time, the invite window was very small and it lasted only 2 days (or 3 for some).

    Message me on facebook for any questions on whatsapp calling.
    MOd Edit: Link Removed

    After Activation Window reopens which is i guess after friday, means on saturday.
    First you have to update your whatsapp to ver2.11.561 atleast, the latest version is 2.12.5. 2.12.7, 2.12.8 On Google Play Store.
    Then you’ll have to wait for a call from someone with call feature enabled.
    If you want call feature enabled on your No. then message me on whatsapp My Whatsapp No. is +919126004610 (India). I’ll Give you a call.

    Just don’t forget to update your app before messaging me otherwise it wont work.

  201. In India any one has whatsapp calling please call me on my cell+91-9820957734 through whatsapp calling.

  204. My device is running on android 4. 2.1 and i activated just by updating my whatsapp and asking a friend to call me. What i disagree is about the “kitkat version and higher only works with whatsapp call” My friend device runs on android 2.1. and he’s “connected”

  215. We All know Whatsapp is now offering Free Whatsapp calling feature in India.Many people are getting invites from many of their friends but some are still not be able to get invite.So, for those they have to wait till the next month as whatsapp servers are down now.
