Voice Call Feature in WhatsApp

WhatsApp is now reportedly slowly rolling out the promised free voice calling feature - once again to Android users.

After WhatsApp webclient now voice call feature going to come.

A Reddit user on Friday posted screenshots of the voice calling feature, supposedly accessible in the latest WhatsApp app (v2.11.508) for Android from the company site on a Google Nexus 5 running Android 5.0.1 Lollipop in India.

Now WhatsApp Begins Testing for that feature.

"Its like an invite thing, where a person with the call feature needs to 'call' another person who wants to start using the feature. You need to get the apk from the website and not from the Play Store," said Reddit user pradnesh07.

Also, the Reddit user said the guy who sent him/her the invite confirmed that it works on other phones on other roms and other OS and in other countries.

WhatsApp originally promised us voice calling for the second quarter of 2014, but CEO Jan Koum revealed back in October that his team had run into technical issues that had delayed its launch until 2015. The company, which is now owned by Facebook, is hoping to optimize the service so that it runs even on affordable devices in emerging markets with only 2G connectivity.

Whatsapp Security Problem

A security problem in WhatsApp means that anyone can see users' profile photos, even if they have been set to be viewable to friends only, according to security researchers.

The problem, which was found by 17-year-old security researcher Indrajeet Bhuyan, seems to be a result of the phone app not being properly synced with the new web interface.

Users are able to set WhatsApp so that it only shares their profile photo with people they have as contacts. But the bug allows people to get around that and see the profile photos of strangers.

The web app also allows users to see photos that have since been deleted. On the phone app, those photos get blurred out — but on the web they seem to remain clearly forever.

Security expert Graham CluleyGraham Cluley said, “Sure, it’s not the most serious privacy breach that has ever occurred, but that’s missing the point. The fact of the matter is that WhatsApp users chose to keep their profile photos private, and their expectation is that WhatsApp will honour their choices and only allow their photos to be viewable by those who the user has approved.”
