The coronavirus isolation has brought an explosion in the use of video calling applications, such as HouseParty or Zoom. WhatsApp also allows for this kind of services and they are actually widely used. The problem is that because of the limited number of members at one time, many people choose alternatives.
That's why the company is working on updating its app that will allow video calls in groups of more than four people.
The new function for WhatsApp will also come to Android
Yesterday they told us at Omicrono that WhatsApp was working on this iOS application and today we know that the upgrade will also come to the Android app. It makes sense since most calls are from one system to another.
A new way to make video calls will be used soon in an app update, and looks like it will be back soon.
When it arrives, users who have not updated the app will receive a notification to do so, so that they can join new video calls, which we do not know to limit their users, but seeing their competitors' performance, will be no more than two or three.
In addition, the app has slightly altered the compatibility of their voice calls to highlight that in-app communication is encrypted and that they cannot access our calls or chats.
It is possible that this organization is related to the efforts of the closest right-wing groups to position the American company as a coalition of progressive governments.
