Setting up WhatsApp for online calls
To start making online calls with WhatsApp, you first need to have the app installed on your smartphone. You can download WhatsApp from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Once you have installed the app, open it and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account. After setting up your account, make sure you grant WhatsApp permission to access your contacts and microphone. This will allow you to make calls to your contacts and use your device's microphone for voice calls. You may also want to ensure that you have a stable internet connection. Online calls require a reliable internet connection to ensure good call quality.
Making a voice call with WhatsApp
To make a voice call with WhatsApp, open the app and navigate to the Chats tab. Select the contact you want to call and tap on the phone icon at the top right corner of the screen. Wait for the contact to answer the call. Once they answer, you can start talking. WhatsApp allows you to make voice calls to individuals as well as in group chats. You can also switch from a voice call to a video call during the call by tapping on the video camera icon. This will enable the video feature and allow you to see the person you are talking to.
Making a video call with WhatsApp
If you want to make a video call with WhatsApp, follow the same steps as making a voice call but tap on the video camera icon instead of the phone icon. During a video call, you can switch between the front and rear camera by tapping on the camera icon. You can also mute or unmute the call by tapping on the microphone icon. WhatsApp also allows you to send messages to the person you are calling during the video call. Simply type your message in the chat window and send it.
