About time. We were all eagerly awaiting this feature, which was said to be coming in 2017, but apparently it has been brought forward and we already have it available for all users of iOS and other operating systems.
But you don't have it available yet?. Don't worry, apparently they are going to activate the function little by little for all users. It can take hours or even a few days before you can make a Whatsapp video call from your iPhone.
The company has given all the information in a statement issued through its blog. Next we show you the most important paragraph of the entire writing
“Today we are excited to announce the next step in our effort to connect more users: the WhatsApp video call. In the coming days, the more than 1,000 million WhatsApp users will be able to make video calls between Android users, iPhone and Windows Phone devices."
HOW TO MAKE A WHATSAPP VIDEO CALL:
We do not have it active, but we already informed you in one of our articles, how we can make the video call. In any case, we will remind you again.
To make a Whatsapp video call, all we have to do is click on the call button that appears at the top right of each chat (personal and not group). If you don't have the feature active, you'll immediately start calling that contact. If you have video calls active, a menu will appear with two options. One option is audio call and the other is video call.
It's easy to make such audiovisual calls.
We remember that if you do it with your mobile data network, you are going to suffer a lot. A video call from Whatsapp, per minute, can consume about 33mb . Be careful with that because you can run out of your long-awaited and coveted mobile data, in one fell swoop.
In addition, as Xatakamóvil tells us, they can consume up to 5 times more data than other apps that allow you to make video calls. Look at the following image.

So, as soon as they are activated on your iPhone, be careful with this high data consumption.
Greetings.
