WhatsApp new features group voice and video calls coming soon

This means that the beta testers will get the group calling feature in the next WhatsApp update. This probably indicates that WhatsApp may officially roll out the feature very soon. Some reports that leaked earlier hinted that WhatsApp may roll out the group voice and video calling feature next year, but then, considering the fact that the update is soon coming to the beta users, chances are that the official rollout of the feature could be before the scheduled time.

Furthermore revealing details about WhatsApp's upcoming group calling feature WaBetaInfo notes, "WhatsApp 2.17.70 sends a request to the server to ask if the user you are calling is in another group call!" It further writes, "Note that these references we found are very strong (but they aren't visible for you at present) and they have allowed us to understand what WhatsApp is going to add in the application, as we did for WhatsApp for iPad."
