It’s been only few weeks when WhatsApp started rolling out its messaging app’s calling feature for Android users and not for iOS or Windows. Luckily, the same feature has started coming out to iOS users. The latest version of the app is now available on the Apple App store for download with Voice calling feature.

Whatsapp’s calling feature allows people to call other Whatsapp user, having Voice call feature enabled, using the internet (could be Wi-Fi or 2G/3G/4G).  This way the user’s cellular data is used instead of the phone network’s calling charges.
