WhatsApp users spend over 2 billion minutes on calls every single day, and the platform offers group calling for video and voice calls. To make a group call, you'll first need to place a one-on-one video or voice call, and then add participants. Here's how that works.
How to use WhatsApp's group calling feature
- Open WhatsApp from the app drawer or home screen.
- Go to the Calls tab.
- Select the dialer icon at the bottom right corner.
- Select the first participant and use the dialer/video icons to make a voice or video call.
- From within the one-on-one call, tap the add participant button on the top right corner.
- Select the second participant you'd like to add to the call and then hit the Add button.
Follow steps five and six to add more participants to the call — you can add up to four people simultaneously. WhatsApp is used by over 2 billion people globally, and the service is particularly popular in countries like India, where it has over 300 million users. Group calling is a great way to connect with friends and family when you're effectively shut indoors, and WhatsApp makes it very straightforward to do so.
