The ubiquitous application of instant messaging and voice calls, is without a doubt WhatsApp. Video calls are one of the functions most requested by the community to the developers of WhatsApp and it seems that they have finally decided to implement them. At last we can say that the video calls arrive to WhatsApp that we can download from Play Store.

It does not matter the age or sex of the person, most likely WhatsApp is one of the applications that person will have installed on your Android device. Google recently launched its Google Duo application that offered a video call service and perhaps this is what has motivated WhatsApp to implement this new feature .

Video calls arrive to WhatsApp officially.

As we have seen, for the moment the version that implements the video calls in WhatsApp is not available in Play Store, but it is available in beta for all those who are targeted to its beta program . This also tells us that over the next few days, you will reach the stable version that is distributed through the Google Play Store.

To be able to use video calls with a contact, both will have to have installed the latest version of WhatsApp . As you can imagine, video calls accompany audio communication with video in real time, giving greater proximity to our conversations.

This also has a bad side, it's about data consumption. Having to retransmit video in real time, this consumes data from our rate and although there is no official data, in many tests conducted point out that WhatsApp video calls are the ones that consume the most data (20 MB per minute) .

This new functionality puts WhatsApp back in one of the most complete applications and allows you to compete with other applications such as Google Duo, Skype or Facetime.
