No one can accuse WhatsApp of being a slave to any particular platform. The Facebook-owned messaging app has recently rolled out its voice calling feature to Android users and iOS users as well. Also on the list to receive the update is the Windows Phone version of WhatsApp. What about BlackBerry? The new updated version of WhatsApp in BlackBerry World, version 2.12.1.2, happens to include voice calling as well as some other new features. Previously, only those rockin’ the beta version of the app were able to use voice calling.
With the update, BlackBerry users can make free VoIP calls to friends and family (even if they are overseas). Tapping Search from the actions list allows users to instantly search for individual messages, chats and contacts. Fonts on the app now match what is being used on BB 10.3. On the BlackBerry Classic there is improved support for navigation and focus.
