 Facebook-owned WhatsApp on Tuesday rolled out its group calling feature — for both voice and video options — on iOS and Android devices for its 1.5 billion users.<\/p>\n

The group calling feature supports up to four people simultaneously.<\/p>\n

“You can make a group call with up to four people total — anytime and anywhere. Just start a one-on-one voice or video call and tap the new “add participant” button in the top right corner to add more contacts to the call,” WhatsApp said in a statement.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp users currently spend over two billion minutes on calls per day.<\/p>\n

“Group calls are always end-to-end encrypted, and we’ve designed calling to work reliably around the world in different network conditions,” WhatsApp added.<\/p>\n

At Facebook’s F8 developer conference in May, WhatsApp had announced to bring group calling support on its platform.<\/p>\n

The instant messaging service unveiled video chatting in 2016 and voice calling in 2014.<\/p>\n
