WhatsApp has around 160 million active users monthly in India and the cross-platform messaging app’s latest beta update has been rolled out for its largest subscriber base, enabling WhatsApp video calling in India. If you have been relying on Facetime, Google Duo and Skype till now, you can also now use WhatsApp’s video calling feature. The video call feature has been much anticipated feature on Whatsapp for long. Few months ago, when Whatsapp rolled out a version update, an option to make a video call was added to call options available in a contact screen, but was not functional. However, it hinted to Whatsapp make the feature available soon to all its user.

In an interview to Reuters, Whatsapp’s co-founder Jan Koum told that the feature will be rolled out in 180 countries after the feature is introduced at an event in India. The video-calling feature will make its way on devices operation on iOS, Android and Windows platforms. Similar to WhatsApp text and voice call, end-to-end encryption will be available on video calls as well. End-to-end encryption keeps the company or government officials from reading the text or listen to calls. This will allow making calls without any fears of security or privacy.
