WhatsApp Calling now available on Windows Phone

WhatsApp officially introduced voice calling in mid-March, after a couple of months of private testing. The feature, which was announced a year before, arrived on Android first, making its way to iOS less than a month after. Windows Phone users, however, were left waiting.

But, thanks to the latest update to the Windows Phone app, WhatsApp Calling is now also available for those using the tiled smartphone operating system.

As expected, WhatsApp Calling is free to use, with the only costs that users will have to support coming from cellular data usage. Obviously, those can be removed from the equation when connected to a free Wi-Fi hotspot. WhatsApp Calling is said to work only on Windows Phone 8.1 and newer, meaning that it might also work on Windows 10 Mobile.

The latest version of the app, based on the changelog provided by WhatsApp, also introduces support for sending audio files, a feature which is, again, only available on Windows Phone 8.1 and newer.

WhatsApp is available to download from Windows Phone Store.
