WhatsApp Adds Voice Call Support on Jio Phone, Other KaiOS Feature Phones
Jun. 9, 2021WhatsApp has finallystarted rolling outvoice call support for the Jio Phone and other KaiOS-based feature phones in the market. Starting today, Jio Phone and other smart feature phone users will be able to make WhatsApp voice calls on their devices.
The messaging giant started rolling out a new update for its app on KaiOS recently. Jio Phone and other KaiOS phone users can simply update WhatsApp to the latest version (v2.2110.41) to get the feature enabled.
Now, although the update brings voice calling support to the Jio Phone and other KaiOS phones, WhatsApp’svoice calling feature depends on the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology. Hence, to use the feature on the said devices, users need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network or a cellular network. It will work on devices equipped with at least 512MB of RAM.
Once they connect their devices to the internet, they will be able to make voice calls to friends and family members using WhatsApp. Additionally, users will be able to receive voice calls just like standard calls on their devices, considering they keep their devices connected to the internet all the time.
So, if you are a Jio Phone or any KaiOS-based device user, update WhatsApp right away to get the feature. It is a pretty useful addition as it will allow feature phone users to connect with their loved ones over voice calls in a cost-effective way.
