So, earlier it was mentioned that the WhatsApp Video Calling Feature will be soon available for the Android and in the beta update for WhatsApp has revealed the video calling feature.The latest beta update for the WhatsApp shows the option to choose between the audio call and video call once tapping on the call option. However, the user cannot place any video calls to anyone, including the video call to other beta users.
