WhatsApp Voice Calls and Video calls

Speak freely

With voice calls, you can talk to your friends and family for free *, even if they are in another country. 

While with free * video calling, you can have face-to-face conversations when voice and text are simply not enough. WhatsApp voice and video calls use your phone's internet connection rather than your voice app, so you do not have to worry about expensive call charges.

* Data charges may apply. Contact your provider for details.
