The free calls over the Internet have been the most anticipated feature WhatsApp along this year. And they have to wait a few months beyond its official announcement at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February last year . However, after arriving with eye dropper and questionable quality compared to other applications of communication now available, also he brought much criticism . NowWhatsApp tries to improve its service. A mission among which is that of reducing consumption data rate Internet to use these calls. Here are three steps to get it.
Calls WhatsApp are among those that generate more consumption without offering the best sound quality possible . Something that can significantly curb their use and make users opt for other alternatives such as Viber or Facebook Messenger . Therefore the company has decided to test a new feature that allows reducing consumption data , although the expense of quality . Something that represents a chunk of savings in data consumption in exchange for losing definition in the sound . These are the steps to follow:
1. The first is to download the version 2.12.183 WhatsApp only platform available for Android via theofficial website of the company . It is a version beta, or test , so that their performance can not be entirely tuned. Meanwhile you can download and install it as an upgrade over the messaging application.Yes, it is necessary that the mobile is enabled for Unknown Sources in the menu settings and withinSecurity . Keeping in mind that downloading applications from outside official stores like Google Play is low risk and responsibility of each user .
2. After installing this just access the menu version of WhatsApp Settings . Once inside you just you have to move to the section settings Chat , where the new option Low data usage . Or what is the same,low data consumption . Thus the application reduces the number of data packets sent via the Internetto place a call.
3. With all this and is just making WhatsApp calls over the Internet knowing that data consumption is reduced about 33 percent . Something that says yes to something more user data rate with calls fromaround 200 kb per minute . Of course, understanding that, by using less data packets, the quality of these calls is reduced . In fact, activate the data saving would castrate or limit the quality of these calls to a situation similar to having a maximum 2G connection . That is, the slowest possible connection where calls reduce their quality best to avoid cuts and slowdowns, losing definition and clarity in sound.
With this the usual user calls WhatsApp may notice a good long-term savings. For now it is only possible with the beta version of WhatsApp , although it is expected that in a few weeks also reach Google Play , perhaps even more significant savings after the test period.
