In a blog announcing the update, a spokesperson for WhatsApp said: “You can make a group call with up to four people total - anytime and anywhere.

“Just start a one-on-one voice or video call and tap the new "add participant" button in the top right corner to add more contacts to the call.”

As with everything else to do with WhatsApp, these calls will be encrypted end-to-end. Meaning only memebers of the group can hear to watch the call.

The feature is currently rolling out on the iPhone and Android versions of our app.
