New WhatsApp feature changes the way we participated in a conversation
WhatsApp Web Brings Popular Messaging App to Your Desktop
WhatsApp announced the launch of WhatsApp Web on Wednesday, marking the official debut of the popular messaging app on non-mobile platforms.
"Today, for the first time, millions of you will have the ability to use WhatsApp on your Web browser," the messaging app said announcing WhatsApp Web via a blog post. "Our Web client is simply an extension of your phone: the Web browser mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device - this means all
of your messages still live on your phone."
of your messages still live on your phone."
WhatsApp has become ridiculously popular around the world, with over 700 million monthly active users, and while we've come to rely on the app as much as
the next person, we've never liked the fact it can be accessed only on the phone.
Yes, there aresome workarounds for getting WhatsApp on a PC, but if, like us,
you hate shuffling between the mobile and PC at work just to be able to use
WhatsApp, WhatsApp Web will be music to your ears.

Simply head over to WhatsApp Web and as long as you are using Google Chrome,
you'll be given a chance to scan a QR code on the desktop screen via the
WhatsApp app on your mobile. Make sure you are using the latest version
of WhatsApp on Android, Windows Phone, or BlackBerry. If you are using
WhatsApp on iPhone or wish to use a browser other than Chrome on your
desktop, you are out of luck.

At the time of filing this report, the version of WhatsApp for Android that supports
this feature was still in the process of being rolled out, so it's possible you may
have to wait a while to get your hands on this feature. If you are amongst the
lucky few who've been able to get in, let us know your experience with
WhatsApp Web so far via the comments.

WhatsApp Android App Now Has Free
Voice Calling For Everyone
After an extended beta test, WhatsApp has added a free voice calling feature to its Android app.
This makes WhatsApp more competitive against services like Skype, Viber and Apple AAPL -1.5% iMessage/FaceTime. The calling feature on WhatsApp launched for
Android last month in beta to a small number of users, followed by availability on an
invitation-only basis. Now voice calling is available for every WhatsApp user on Android.

The WhatsApp calling feature is available on version 2.12.5, but the Google Play Store
currently offers the older version 2.12.19. The older version of WhatsApp enables the calling
feature, but app reviewers have reported that it does not work properly yet. This means
that there is a bit of extra work necessary if you want access to the calling feature right now.
You can download the Android application package (APK) file of WhatsApp version 2.12.5 through the WhatsApp website or an APK Mirror website. After installing the APK file
and opening WhatsApp, you will see a new tab for Calls next to the Chats and Contacts tab.
Tap on the Calls tab and select the name of the person that you want to call.
