If you use WhatsApp on Apple's iPhone you need to update it NOW

Apple users can now update WhatsApp, via the App Store, to gain access to the function, which allows you to call friends and family over the internet for free.

The service has been available to Android users for a number of weeks and is now being rolled out on Apple's iOS platform.

WhatsApp fans can even use the voice call service to speak, for free, anywhere in the world - all they need is a WiFi and data connection.

Other features in the latest iOS update include sharing photos and videos from other apps and the new quick camera button, which allows you to send instant pictures to friends and family.

WhatsApp users can also send multiple videos at once and crop and rotate them before sending.

All these features are useful but it's the voice calling that's the killer feature.

Once updated don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work straight away as WhatsApp say it may take a few weeks before everyone gets access.
