The most used messaging app on the planet is far from perfect. Many competing apps have a lot of cool features, but WhatsApp has something the others don't: number of users. We are already 1.000 million users that we chat with WhatsApp, which is about one in eight inhabitants of the planet. One of the functions it lacks is the ability to do video calls, something that seems to be just around the corner.
As in many other occasions, the confirmation that the video calls will reach WhatsApp has occurred in the app translations page. As you can see in the following image, WhatsApp has already added the words and phrases that will be included in a future update and one of them will be "Missed Video Call", which translated into Spanish I think would not be any of the translations of the capture, otherwise "Video call" in a compound word.
Video calls will soon arrive on WhatsApp
The question is: when will the video calls finally arrive on WhatsApp? At this time it is impossible to give an answer. Users with a Apple Watch They are still waiting for an update to be released with support for the apple smartwatch and that option has long appeared on the translation page of the messaging application now owned by Facebook. If I have to say what I think, it seems to me that video calls will come before, since it is a more important function that more users will use.
What is a fact is that the most used messaging application on the planet is being updated many more times and adding more functions since the arrival of the iPhone 6s, so video calls could arrive at any time, which could be weeks or months, hopefully the former.
Be on the lookout for the next update that says "Bug Fixed".
The operators are going to rub their hands with consumption.
They would have to correct the lag of the voice calls rather than keep popping things in.
