Whatsapp, the Internet based app that allows users to chat and share multimedia may soon add voice-calling.

In February, CEO Jan Koum promised that Whatsapp would feature voice calling by second quarter of the year.

According to Cnet, volunteers who translate Hindi language received translation request for text like 'Incoming call', 'Outgoing call' and 'Hang up,' a sign that the project could be near completion.

Voice calling will surely be delightful news for about 465 million Whatsapp users worldwide.
