The Whatsapp voice calling invitation which is now in the circulation is a spam and it downloads a malware into your phone, according to media reports which in turn quoted a report of The Market Business.
Currently a message has gone viral on WhatsApp that shows an invitation to download the voice calling feature on Whatsapp. The fake message is taking advantage of the fact that WhatsApp had recently pushed an update for few subscribers that allowed voice calling via the application. 0
“The invitation comes with a link www.WhatsappCalling.com that takes you to a website where a short survey is conducted, and once that survey concludes the website will ask the user to download various applications that can spread malware in the phone,” as per a report of India Today.
“To spread the message the website will prompt the user to send the invite to a few friends, so that the talking feature can be initiated,” the report further added.
It is thus always advised to check the official application store like Google Play, Windows App store etc before mindlessly downloading any update or opening any link.
