Make a video call on WhatsApp
See their face, not just hear their voice. Works on any phone with WhatsApp installed.
1
Open WhatsApp and find the person
Tap the Chats tab, then tap the name of the person you want to see.
2
Tap the video camera icon
Top right of the chat. (The phone icon next to it is voice-only.)
⚠️ Video uses your data plan — On mobile data a long call adds up — on Wi-Fi it's free of worry.
3
Wait for them to answer
You'll see yourself while it rings. That's normal.
4
Add more family to the call
During the call, tap the person-with-plus icon to bring someone else in.
5
To hang up, tap the red button
Big red circle at the bottom. If the buttons hide, tap the screen once to bring them back.
