CEO of WhatsApp, Jan Koum revealed today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that WhatsApp plans to roll out a voice function for their app.
Speaking in Barcelona today, Koum (pic above) said that “We want to make sure people always have the ability to stay in touch and call their friends, families and loved ones and do it easily and affordably.”
The plan is to add voice capability to its iPhone and Android users first, before rolling it out to users on Windows and Blackberry. WhatsApp, of course, made all the headlines last week when it was announced that Facebook had bought the instant messaging service for a whopping $19 billion. So who are we to question the business decisions of a man who clearly knows what he’s doing?
