WhatsApp Web: Video and voice calls available for desktop users

Facebook-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has said it had introduced video and voice calling for its desktop users.

The instant messaging app, in a tweet, said: "More screen so you never miss a single thing. End-to-end encrypted voice and video calls are now available on our desktop app."

The app has reportedly been working on the implementation of calls on WhatsApp Web/Desktop — a connection with the phone is always needed — for the past two years or so.
