Samsung Galaxy S8 And Galaxy S8 Plus WhatsApp Calls Stopped – Tip
WhatsApp is widely popular not just for its chat function, but also for the voice call feature that lets you make voice calls through the internet connection. If you’ve been using the WhatsApp on your Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone for this purpose, but you have noticed that, recently, your calls have a poor connection or even happen to be suddenly aborted, there are a couple of things you should consider.
First of all, the quality of your voice calls on WhatsApp is determined by the quality of the internet connection. If you’re on the Wi-Fi, making sure that you have a strong Wi-Fi signal or even connecting to a different wireless network, if you have the chance, could improve things.
If you’re using a mobile data connection, however, the only thing you can do is to adjust a dedicated data usage option from the settings of the WhatsApp itself:
- Go to the Home screen of your Samsung Galaxy S8;
- Launch the WhatsApp;
- Access the chat overview window;
- Tap on the 3-dots symbol from the upper right corner;
- Select the Settings option;
- Tap on Data Usage;
- Navigate to the Call Settings section;
- Tap on the option labeled as Reduce Data Consumption.
By doing so, you have decided to make some cuts in terms of voice quality, only to support a reduced data consumption with your call.
While the voice quality will be comparable to what you had before, the interruptions should disappear and you will enjoy more stable voice calls through WhatsApp, right from your Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone.
