In WhatsApp added secure video call feature for all relevant platforms.

Yesterday, the messenger team in the official blog WhatsApp introduced a new secure video call feature for its users using end-to-end encryption . Calls will be available on all current platforms - Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

We present this feature because we know that sometimes voices and text messages may simply not be enough. Nothing will replace the opportunity to observe the first steps of the beloved granddaughter or to see the face of the daughter when she is studying abroad. We want these functions to be available for everyone, not only for those who can afford to purchase the most expensive new phones or live in countries with the most developed cellular networks.

WhatsApp introduced the ability to make video calls after other market players. According to popular opinion, the messenger is noticeably late from the background of other market players - Skype, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Viber and LINE from Google.

The new feature of the messenger becomes available in stages and, according to WhatsApp, within a few days, all users of the application will be able to use it.

Of the latest major WhatsApp updates, it is worth mentioning the introduction of two-factor authentication, which is now available in some beta versions of the application. It is likely that the next major WhatsApp update will be directed towards security.

By some estimates, the WhatsApp audience has nearly a billion people. A venture start-up for sending short text messages that were considered at the time of launch in 2009 as an alternative to SMS (adhered to Twitter on the same launch strategy) was already bought by Facebook in 2014 for $ 16 billion.
