Whatsapp Users Are Making 100 Million Calls Everyday by TechPill: 3:28am On Jun 25, 2016
WhatsApp users are making 100 million calls everyday, the company has announced. Most users are now getting familiar and feel safe using the whatsApp calling feature which was added months ago, Maybe due to the End-to end encryption feature which now make whatsapp users feel safe and secured.

Just for those who are new to this, if any, the whatsapp calling feature allows you to make calls to another whatsapp users without paying a dime to your network provider instead it uses your data or wi-fi to make the call. And of course you must have a very good Internet network to do that.

Most folks are now ditching their phone dedicated voice calling feature by using apps like Whatsapp and Skype for numerous reasons. but some of the reasons revolved around end-to-end encryption, cheaper rate, superb call quality, easy group calling, etc.

In a blog post this week, Whatsapp announced that there are 100 million voice calls which take place on whatsapp everyday, which amount to 1,100 calls every second, that's huge right?

Side note, most Africa countries are not really using the whatsapp calling features due to the poor internet network. In Nigeria for example, most telecommunication companies do have a snail like internet speed which are only good for opening webpages not to talk of using an app for calling over the network. So only a tiny fraction of the 100 million whatsapp call made everyday belong to Africa.

Are you using the Whatsapp calling feature? What network? Tell us your experience.

i use the call feature alot and it is crystal clear. i speak for long minutes with my mum, sisters and bae via this medium and it is very very efficient for me. My cousin and i use it to discuss our business plans. I am just waiting for the video call feature, then i am done with Skype.

This is the most convenient way to ditch buying call vouchers for chatterboxes. I know a lot of people who prefer using this because at 10MB/hour one'd talk for hours upon hours and not consume up to 500 naira(1GB) as opposed to 6,000 naira on a normal day.

It still needs some improvements, I must confess. I only enjoy it when I use 3G, especially the Glo 3G (because of my location). But all in all, I think it's a very good and useful feature.

How else would I keep in touch with Bae abroad if not for Internet calls. Especially for this tough economic era. All you need is a reliable 3G network and it'd be as good as any offnet calls.
