Hello all ! well its time to give the try for free calling in whatsapp, even though its not well known to all users but those who are tech mad like me know it.. but its makes wiered when we not get invite for activating call nor even if we get invite we cant get the calling feature here i want to provide the trick in three methods one is official and other two are unofficial both for rooted and non rooted android mobiles
Method 1(Official One):
- You have to update the app to version xx.xx.561 well you can get the official file from here
direct download link - After that find your friends who got calling feature to call you
- There you are you got into free calling world (dont worry if you want invite plz contact with your mobile number contact us )
Method 2 (Rooted Mobiles):
- Make sure your mobile rooted and You have installed RootExplorer in your device ( root explorer v3.3 full version download here )
- Before starting the trick Force Stop your whatsapp ( Settings > Apps > All > WhatsApp click on forcestop )
- Now open root explorer to data > data > com.whatsapp. > shredpreffrerences > com.whatsapp_preferences.xml open this file in texteditor (long press on the file select open in text editor)
- now add below two lines of code at the end of file before </map> tag
<boolean name="call" value="true"/>
<string name="call_allowed">all</string> - save file and exit rootexplorer
- Now open whatsapp see the magic
Method 3 (Non Rooted Mobiles):
**This method is not like the old ones at all**
