WhatsApp has begun rolling out the much-awaited group calling feature for both audio and video calls. The feature is already live for WhatsApp for Android users and should be coming to iPhone as well at any time now.
WhatsApp for iPhone app was updated earlier today to version 2.18.61, but it didn’t mention any new features in the changelog. However, the group call UI was already there in the 2.18.60 version of the app by WABetaInfo. So it’s now in the hands of WhatsApp to enable the feature for iPhone users with a server-side switch.
