How do I make a WhatsApp call - in detail?
To make a WhatsApp call, follow these detailed steps:
- Install WhatsApp: Ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. You can download it from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Create an Account: If you don’t already have a WhatsApp account, create one by entering your phone number and verifying it via SMS.
- Access Contacts: Open WhatsApp and go to the 'Chats' tab at the bottom of the screen. Here, you will see a list of contacts who also use WhatsApp.
- Select Contact: Choose the contact you wish to call by tapping on their name or profile picture. This action will open the chat window for that specific contact.
- Start Call: In the top-right corner of the chat window, you will see an icon resembling a phone. Tap this icon to initiate a voice call. If the icon is disabled, it means the contact does not have WhatsApp installed or their number is not saved in your device’s contacts list.
- Use Video Call: For a video call, tap on the camera icon next to the phone icon. This will start a video call, allowing you to see and be seen by the person on the other end of the line.
- During the Call: While on the call, you can use various features such as muting the microphone (tap the microphone icon), switching between the rear and front camera (if on a video call), or ending the call prematurely by tapping the red 'End Call' button.
- Group Calls: WhatsApp also supports group calls, allowing you to communicate with multiple contacts simultaneously. To start a group call, open the group chat and tap on the appropriate icon (phone for voice, camera for video) at the top-right corner of the screen.
By following these steps, you can easily make both voice and video calls using WhatsApp, enhancing your communication experience with friends, family, or colleagues around the world.
