WhatsApp Messenger is now updated with VoIP, plus a host of other useful features for its 800 million users. The cross-platform chatting service just released for its iPhone version new ways to share content.
Included in the update list is the WhatsApp Calling service, which works like Facetime Audio and Skype. This feature has been made available to Android users late in March. This feature uses the Internet connection of the phone, not its voice plan. Hence, WhatsApp users can call their family and friends free of phone voice charges, even those overseas.
With the new feature, when a call comes in, there will be a notification from the app showing who the caller is. Upon answering the call, it can be muted, put on speakerphone, or receiver may send the caller a message. For Android users, WhatsApp Call provides a Calls tab, listing call register that has all types of calls.
WhatsApp for iOS is now updated with VoIP and other features. It is shortly after CEO Jan Koum shared the app’s milestone of getting 800 million active users, which with big names in the global social and Internet services nowadays, is something of a feat. It has almost doubled its user base in the past year since Facebook acquired it. Since the latter bought the messaging app on February last year, the call feature has been expected by many. According to WhatsApp, the feature will be rolling out in weeks.
It also has just updated its Android client, a backup option for its online conversation with Google Drive. The Android version client is now in 2.12.45.
Version number 2.12.1 for iOS users also has a camera button in chats, multiple videos sending, iOS 8 share extension and Contacts edit. The camera button allows seamless photo capture, or lets one choose a recent video or photo. The user can also tweak videos prior to sending them. Meanwhile, the iOS share extension function makes it possible for users to share files and links from other applications.
WhatsApp started as a mere text messaging application, then incorporated voice messaging after four years. Then Facebook acquired the app for a whooping $19 billion. Several months later, the app introduced WhatsApp Web, which can run on devices of BlackBerry, Nokia S60, Windows Phone and Android.
Since August last year, about 100 million users use the app per four months. The number of users reached 700 million in January. Now, with 800 million active users, WhatsApp has the highest number of users of all messaging apps.
While messaging apps are meant to be used more often, rather than just once a month because users talk to family, friends and colleagues, Jon Russell writes on TechCrunch that better metrics of active users can be the number of weekly users, daily messages per user or the number of messages sent. Whatever metrics WhatsApp applies to count its users, the fact for now is, it is updated with VoIP and other features it sees useful for its millions of current users.

Hey, how’s it going?
Did you hear that the powers that run this world want to put a RFID microchip in our body? It will contain not only our bank accounts but our personal information, making us total slaves to the elite. This will cause us to lose even more of our privacy.
Did you know that this RFID microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18?
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. It’s amazing that the Bible foretold a cashless society!
Did you also hear that the Jewish people are in the process of bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible by the prophet Daniel, Jesus, and Apostle Paul? They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the whole world under a one world religion. They are not even hiding this information, but are actually promoting it. You can view videos about this on YouTube.
When Donald Trump made Jerusalem captial of Israel in late December 2017, the Jewish people said this was a big step for them to build this Third Temple. They even printed a Temple coin with president Trump’s face on the front with king Cyrus'(the man who built the Second Temple in the Bible) face behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the Third Temple. They are selling these coins to raise money to build the Temple.
People have been saying for many years that the end is near, but we needed not only the Third Temple, but also the technology for there to be a cashless society for the Mark of the Beast to be a reality.
There is much more to know, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM to see all the proof!
GOD BLESS, JESUS LOVES YOU!
