WhatsApp’s voice call feature was activated last year and while the feature might have been late to the party, it seems that WhatsApp users waste no time in taking advantage of it. According to the official numbers posted on WhatsApp’s blog, it has been revealed that WhatsApp users are making 100 million voice calls on a daily basis.According to WhatsApp, “For more than a year, people have used WhatsApp Calling to talk with friends and family around the world. It’s a great way to stay in touch, especially when connecting with people in other countries, or when messages alone won’t do. Today, more than 100 million voice calls are made every day on WhatsApp – that’s over 1,100 calls a second! We’re humbled that so many people have found this feature useful, and we’re committed to making it even better in the months to come.”
Like we said, WhatsApp was a bit late to the party. Prior to this, other messaging apps like LINE, Skype, and Viber already offered similar functionality, but we suppose WhatsApp’s strong and massive user base helped to contribute to the feature’s success. Last we heard, WhatsApp was planning video calls although that feature has yet to roll out to its users, but we have to wonder if it will be met with the same success as its voice calling one.
