Group calling becomes easier on WhatsApp Android app

WhatsApp had rolled out group voice and video calling feature for its users in the month of August last year. But the process of making a group call was not easy. A new update has been released for WhatsApp Android app, after which a separate call button has come in group chat. This feature was made available for iPhone users last month.

Now participants can be added to a group call at once, that too from a slide out tray which will contain all the contacts of the group. After the new update of WhatsApp, the problems related to GIF function have been resolved.

We got our first glimpse of it in the beta build in the month of November. In group chat, there is a separate button at the top right corner. On tapping this button, a slide out tray opens which contains the contact cards of all the group members. Here you can select the names of your favorite people to be part of a group voice or video call. To get this feature, you will have to download the latest stable version of WhatsApp Android. For this go to Google Play Store or WhatsApp.com/Android. Remember that the new group call shortcut button was released for iPhone users last month.
