WhatsApp For iOS, Windows Phone
WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton already confirmed that the voice-calling feature for iOS users is just weeks away. Since the feature is already out on Android platform, iOS users will not have to wait too long for voice-calling. Sadly, there's no news on WhatsApp getting voice-calling feature on Windows Phone platform but a recent leak suggested the arrival is imminent. But it may take longer for iOS users, as the feature will be tested for perfection before the official rollout.
