Add more people by clicking the "add participant" button, and keep adding until you've added all (or three of) your favourite people. Open up your app and click on the video symbol in the top-right-hand corner of a WhatsApp conversation to start a one-on-one video call. Sounds good, right? Well, if you want to get involved but you're not seeing the option to make a call, here's what you need to know. Which means what? Basically this is an assurance that only you and the person you're talking to can hear the conversation - with no interference from third parties, including WhatsApp itself.
In the wake of the highly publicised Facebook data scandal, it is no surprise that security and privacy are a primary focus for the app's latest function, with WhatsApp confirming that all calls will be end-to-end encrypted. WhatsApp has made various updates to the app in recent years, with the introduction of voice calls in 2015 and then video calls in 2016. Users of the social app, which has more than 1.5 billion monthly members, will now be able to make group voice and video calls with a total of four people, by adding friends, acquaintances, colleagues, pets - whoever you want - to a video call with a click of the "add participant" button in the top-right-hand corner of the screen. WhatsApp announcement came off the back of Instagram's news in May that it would be launching a group call feature, and the popularity of Snapchat's function that allows users to video chat with 16 fellow users. If you're using your app now and wondering " why don't I have WhatsApp group video calls?", here's what you need to do.
WhatsApp are the latest to announce a group video call function, so the hiding behind your screen may be officially over. That's right, you can no longer hide behind messages, GIFs, and Emojis, the time has come for face-to-face interaction, even if it does come via a screen. In the fast-moving, uber competitive world of modern technology, it's a recurring case of "anything you can do I can do better," and this is playing out currently in the realm of video group chat.
