WhatsApp is an instant messaging app that was initially released in the year 2009. Now WhatsApp has proclaimed the most anticipated feature which is the Voice Calling feature to the app users. The feature can be accessed only through invitation. The feature cannot be accessed by latest version 2.11.508 Android users.

WhatsApp Making Voice Calling Feature Tests For Selected Users

WhatsApp has stated that it is still testing the feature and will roll out to users soon. The new feature is available to consumers only when they get an invitation from the other users that are already availing this feature. Even though if you have downloaded the latest version of the app in your handset, to access this feature user should get invitation from others who are using this app. Users have to wait until other notified you about this app. A reddit user who is using Nexus 5 device has stated that new voice calling feature is running the latest Android Lollipop OS.

The reddit user has posted some screen shots showing the Calls tab with Contacts and Chats. Consumers who will receive the invitation for accessing the feature will be able to see the standard caller interface. Along with caller buttons you will also get options for speaker, messaging and mute. The admix interface is unique and fairly simple in style. It shows only name and WhatsApp image of the particular user you are calling.

Some of the users have stated that, they are not able to send invitation for other people. They have also stated that it works correctly only in India that too for the users who are having Lollipop 5.0.x version on Nexus 5 smartphone. This Voice Calling feature does not work for other Indian users who are having earlier combo.

WhatsApp has launched this feature to receive some user feedback before the main global app feature launch. The UI also seems to be pretty similar in design to the normal calling feature and this was also shown earlier in the screenshots.

More than 700 million users are using this WhatsApp and the company is also launching new features like the WhatsApp web which is accessible via the desktop web browser. WhatsApp is holding a competition with the other messaging apps like Viber and Hike, who are also offering voice calling feature. Voice calling functionality via the messaging apps has gained more popularity throughout the years and let’s wait and see if the WhatsApp can make a hit with its new voice calling feature.

How ad-free subscriptions could solve Facebook

At the core of Facebook’s “well-being” problem is that its business is directly coupled with total time spent on its apps. The more hours you pass on the social network, the more ads you see and click, the more money it earns. That puts its plan to make using Facebook healthier at odds with its finances, restricting how far it’s willing to go to protect us from the harms of over use. The advertising-supported model comes with some big benefits, though. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly said that “We will always keep Facebook a free service for everyone.” Ads lets Facebook remain free for those who don’t want to pay, and more importantly, for those around the world who couldn’t afford to. Ads pay for Facebook to keep the lights on, research and develop new technologies, and profit handsomely in a way that attracts top talent and further investment. More affluent users with more buying power in markets like the US, UK, and Canada command higher ad prices, effectively

South Korea aims for startup gold

Back in 2011, when South Korea won its longshot bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympics, the country wasn’t widely recognized as a destination for ski and snow lovers. It wasn’t considered much of a tech startup hub either. Fast forward seven years and a lot has changed. For the next 10 days, the eyes of the world will be on the snowy slopes of PyeongChang. Meanwhile, a couple of hours away in Seoul, a burgeoning startup scene is seeing investments multiply, generating exits and even creating a unicorn or two. While South Korea doesn’t get a perfect score as a startup innovation hub, it has established itself as a serious contender. More than half a billion dollars annually has gone to seed through late-stage funding rounds for the past few years. During that time, at least two companies, e-commerce company Coupang and mobile-focused content and commerce company Yello Mobile, have established multi-billion-dollar valuations. To provide a broader picture of how South Korea stacks

Phoenix OS is (another) Android-as-a-desktop

Google Android may have been developed as a smartphone operating system (and later ported to tablets, TVs, watches, and other platforms), but over the past few years we’ve seen a number of attempts to turn it into a desktop operating system. One of the most successful has been Remix OS , which gives Android a taskbar, start menu, and an excellent window management system. The Remix OS team has also generated a lot of buzz over the past year, and this week the operating system gained a lot of new alpha testers thanks to a downloadable version of Remix OS that you can run on many recent desktop or notebook computers. But Remix OS isn’t the only game in town. Phoenix OS is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers. Some background I first discovered Phoenix OS from a post in the Remix OS Google Group , although I’ve also found mentions of th

What will a driverless future actually look like?

There is a growing consensus that autonomous vehicles (AVs) will soon be a reality. The debate today centers not on whether, but how soon, AVs will be commonplace on our roads. But for all the buzz surrounding AVs, many details about what a driverless future will look like remain unclear. Which business models will work best for the commercialization of AVs? Which AV usage models will be most appealing for consumers? Which companies are best positioned to win in this new market? These are big questions, and no certain answers can be given at this stage. Nonetheless, it is valuable to reflect, in a concrete way, on how this transformative technology might develop. This article will present some conjectures. The end of private car ownership? At a high level, two possible paradigms seem most likely for how society will use AVs. The first is private AV ownership. Under this model, individuals or families would continue to own their own vehicles and use them to get around. As
