Moreover, WhatsApp version 2.11.528 from the Play Store or 2.11.531 from WhatsApp website, saw the call icon on their app and could make a call to their friends and pass on the invite. The invite in the sense was getting a call from someone who already had the calling feature activated.

Users who have activated this feature, can still make calls to their friends. But one cannot activate the option for others. It seems like WhatsApp has disabled the invitation feature and was simply testing its servers for the call functionality.

Indeed, WhatsApp is the mostly used popular messaging app with more than 600 million active users, with India alone boasting a user base of more than 70 million. According to the company report, this app has surpassed 700 million users, during Jan 2015.
