Whatsapp introduced  "Whatsapp Call" some days before but it is invite based. The Whatsapp Call provides you free calls via Internet ( Only WA 2 WA ) .

Here's how to get Whatsapp Call Feature :-

There are two Methods to get it :- 

For non-Rooted users : -

#1. Download the latest App Package ( APK ) from HERE . It's Version 2.11.522.
#2. Take a Backup of Current Conversations .

Here's how to backup :-




#3. Uninstall Current version and Install the Downloaded version 2.11.522 from step #1.
#4. Run it and Mail us for a free invite on superdevsteam@gmail.com

Note : Currently we're running out of Invites so we'd not be able to send you an Invite but just mail us your contact , we'll add you to our list. :)

The Invite is totally free .

Note : The Person who already have Whatsapp Call can get you an Invite by simply Calling you . 
           and if you wanna simply provide someone Whatsapp call then you have to call him.


Here's what Whatsapp will turn to , once you got an Invite .




As you can see above screenshots , You'll get three Tabs 

#1. Calls : Logs of Whatsapp Call.
#2. Chats : Logs of Recent Chat ( You already know that ).
#3. Contacts : List of Contacts .




For Rooted users :- 

#1. Download the latest App Package ( APK ) from HERE . It's Version 2.11.522.
#2. Take a Backup of Current Conversations .

Here's how to backup :-




#3. Uninstall Current version and Install the Downloaded version 2.11.522 from step #1.
#4. Force stop the app and untick the "Show notification" option from App manager.
#5. Use any root browser and navigate to Root >Data > again Data > com.whatsapp > shared_prefs > com.whatsapp_preferences.xml .

Note : We're gonna edit the file so better take a backup of that file in any of the storages for safe side.

#5. Open the file in editing mode  and search for all these lines if they are not present then add them.

<boolean name="call" value="true" />

<boolean name="show_all_contacts" value="true" />

<string name="call_allowed">all</string> 

#6. Now you'll get those three tabs but still you can't call anybody . To call anybody you need to activate it.
#7. To activate it send us your Name and phone number @  superdevsteam@gmail.com

Note : Currently we're running out of Invites so we'd not be able to send you an Invite but just mail us your contact , we'll add you to our list. :)

Observations :-

#1. Invite System :  The Whatsapp Call invite sytem is quite simple , if you want an Invite then tell someone who have Whatsapp Call enabled , call you . If you wanna send someone invite then just call the guy. You can't send an invite if other party doesn't have version 2.11.522.

#2. The App Version : The app version is Important in all this process . You must have version 2.11.522. If you or someone you are calling doesn't have the same version then call will not be placed i.e You can call only those who have this version.

#3. New icon-click-UI : In previous versions , if we click the profile image from Whatsapp Recent Chat list then it takes us to the Chat-UI .. but now we get a new UI , have a look at this and observe the things marked with RED rectangle 




The first screenshot shows a Contact and a Group , other two screenshot shows the new UI implemented for onClick of the chat image. New UI consist of three options at bottom Message option ( Takes you to chat activity ) , Call option ( Place a direct Call ) and Profile option ( Takes you to status page ) and for a Group we get a UI with two options Message and Group Info.

#4. Clear Call Logs : Unlike chats , unfortunately there's no long click to remove option to clear a particular Whatsapp Call log . If you wanna clear a Particular call log then simple click Clock icon > Delete icon and to clear all  : Menu > Clear Call log. 

#5. Call History: There's a a Clock symbol located at right of any recent call contact name to check history of calls.

#6. No Call Menu : According to our observations if you don't Re-Install the entire app you might not get the new tabs ( Calls, Chats , Contacts ) . 

#7. Simple Call UI : The calling UI is quite simple it is having three buttons (Loud Speaker , Message and Mute ).

#8. Root users : Till now it is observed that root users are getting Whatsapp call quickly and others are not getting it even on a call activation , so think about it ..
