WhatsApp voice calling now enabled for anyone and everyone who wants to use it

WhatsApp had previously given select lucky users the ability to place voice calls before, but a vast majority of the userbase was left out. That ends today — the company has flipped the server side switch that allows everyone to make voice calls.

As long as you’re on WhatsApp version 2.12.5, you’ll start to see a new tab named Calls where you can initiate calls to anyone on your contacts list, or simply press the dialer button you’ll find in a chat window.

Both users need to be on the latest version of WhatsApp for it to work, though that shouldn’t be a big issue as the latest update has been out for at least two weeks now. Give it a try the next time you prefer to grace your friends and families’ day with your voice rather than text.

Spark enabled and regular Galaxy S4 now receiving Android 5.0 Lollipop on Sprint

In a world where Android updates are almost never guaranteed, it’s crazy to see a device as old as the Samsung Galaxy S4 still being updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Where we already saw Lollipop roll out to the Galaxy S4 on Verizon and AT&T, Sprint models were nowhere to be found. That changes today with both Sprint Spark equipped and regular Samsung Galaxy S4 models receiving an update to Lollipop (L720VPUGOD2).

Some of you may remember that the Spark model started receiving the update a few weeks ago, but for whatever reason it seems the update was pulled last minute. With today’s update, both models are now on the same page. If your phone hasn’t prompted you for the update yet, you can manually check by jumping into your Settings app > “More” tab > System update > Update Samsung software > Check now.
