If something can be missed in Telegram compared to what their rivals can offer, on the other hand very accustomed to being in tow as far as news is concerned, it is the option of being able to make both voice calls and video calls, a function that, for example in WhatsApp arrived in mid-2015 while for video calls we had to wait until the end of 2016.
This time it was the creator of Telegram himself, Pavel Durov, the one in charge of revealing that today those responsible for the platform are allocating enough resources so that the users of this messaging network can make phone calls via internet connection, among them. Another novelty announced, although the desktop function is already operational, is to be able to change the wallpapers and themes in general of the interface.
Pavel Durov confirms that voice calls will soon reach Telegram.
As a negative detail of this brief announcement, we find that Pavel Durov seems to forget to comment on a date on which these news can become a reality for all users. At least, in one way or another, we have confirmation that Telegram has finally started working on the development of this option instead of, as up to now, limiting itself solely to telling you that this option «It will only be developed in the event that there is sufficient demand from users«.
Now, it is fair to comment that, according to previous communications published by those responsible for Telegram, apparently the company has implemented this function for many months although, precisely because there was not enough demand from users, at least for them, it had not yet been distributed. On the other hand, apparently and according to what was commented at the time, the voice calls of Telegran will be encrypted so that no one can intervene the conversations.
