WhatsApp confirms group voice calls in latest update

World's most popular mobile messenger - WhatsApp seems to be in a hurry to catch up with the rivals in terms of features. After the recent leak about WhatsApp bringing in real-time location sharing feature, we now have a confirmed update that the messenger is soon to get group voice call feature. But that's not all, there seems to be an evidence in the latest beta that group video-calling feature may also be in the works. The hidden feature was found in the beta version 2.17.70. When the user makes a voice call to another user, the app now sends a request to the server to check if the person is already engaged in a group voice call. There seems to be one reference to the group video calls and that means, users will soon be able to make video calls through the messenger. It's expected that the group voice calling feature will be released first, followed by the group video calling feature. In addition, WhatsApp seems to have began rolling out the WhatsApp Business app to limited number of businesses in select countries viz. India, Indonesia, Germany, Netherlands and Spain. Access to WhatsApp Business seems to be by invite only as the app is currently in beta state.
