WhatsApp 2.16.260 For Windows Phone Gets Video Calls

WhatsApp has been adding various new useful features lately and some of them prove out to be favorites for many people. Video Call is something that is most waited of all and with beta updates each update brings some hint for Video Calls and today Windows Phone users who are on the version 2.16.260 have a great reason to rejoice as they are the first one that can place video calls through WhatsApp.

This exclusive screenshot comes from a famous WhatsApp Twitter handle WABetaInfo who shared this screenshot today which contains the video call button right along with the voice call button. This feature has been enabled by default in this version for windows phone users. It's strange that iOS and Android versions have been kept away from video calls, but that is not too far. Future beta updates are slated to bring Video Calls to iOS and Android too.

WhatsApp team is leaving no stone unturned to make this app a single stop for everything, this can be seen from the recent features added like

GIF Support (Major Change)
