Users who have got the update will come over an Add Participant icon on the top right window after making a video call to one person. Clicking on that icon allows you to add up to three more people to the video call. The screen then splits into four halves for a proper group video call.
WhatsApp has rolled out the new iOS version 2.18.52 to all users, and you can check for an update on the App Store.
How Whatsapp Group Video Calling Works :-
- Open WhatsApp, and select a contact.
- Place a normal video call to that contact.
- Once he or she picks the call, then see if the screen has “Add participant” option or not.
- Add upto 4 participants, and start group video chat/call seamlessly.
