WhatsApp Voice Calling Feature Arrived On Tizen Smartphones

WhatsApp’s voice calling function is accessible for Android customers, and it looks like customers who bought the Samsung Z1 have something to rejoice about as WhatsApp for Tizen continues to be updated with voice contacting assistance also. If you’re the owner from the Samsung Z1, you will just need to start the WhatsApp app and you'll see the new function available for your use.

At this time in time, Samsung Z1 proprietors will only have the ability to call Android gadgets who has the up to date function, or other Samsung Z1 owners. This successfully brings the voice calling feature to 2 platforms - Android and Tizen, with iOS customers left needing to wait for his or her update that has been scheduled to get a rollout in the coming months.

As pointed out by SamMobile, the main reason why the Tizen version of WhatsApp managed to get this feature forward of a more “prominent” system like iOS is simply because the Tizen edition of WhatsApp is an emulated version of the Android app. This means that it is feasible for Tizen users to obtain exactly the same upgrades and features as its Android counterpart without an excessive amount of fuss or hassle.

Like we said iOS users will still need to wait a couple of months for his or her function, and there’s still no word on when voice calling will probably be rolled out to customers of BlackBerry or Windows Phone platforms.
