    Now you can make free voice calls in WhatsApp!

    Not content with just being an instant messenger on your mobile, the Facebook-owned WhatsApp has now been updated with the ability to make voice calls. Yep, for the low cost of free, you'll be able to phone your friends and family straight through the app, and then follow up with emoji if you fancy. Who needs a real phone now?

    The new update of WhatsApp on iOS brings the voice calling feature to your iPhone, which has been previously available on Android for the past month. The VoIP feature lets you make calls using your phone's internet connection - whether that's Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G - and handily puts it in an app you probably already use for instant messaging on the go.

    WhatsApp says the new feature will roll out slowly, while new features in the update you can use right away include making use of iOS 8's share extension, letting you share photos, videos and links from other apps with WhatsApp at the touch of a button, while there's now a quick camera button added into the IM window.

    It looks like WhatsApp's looking to compete even more with Skype, Viber and Facebook's Messenger app, which also features voice calling - we do wonder which messaging app will come out on top though. It?s not like it?s a crowded market out there...


    I've started to use TANGO seems better and is free compared to Whats app which charges a 'small' yearly free and you can install a PC version!!!

    Sore this last week on the gadget show, and then added it to mine and the Mrs phone over the weekend ......found it good but if your phone is locked and you get a call, you cant just answer it without unlocking your phone first like you can if you get a normal call Hidden Content

    A part from that its a good App to have if you go on a lot of holidays like Berley and nao as its free to use Hidden Content
