You can’t access emergency service numbers through WhatsApp, such as 911 in the United States.

If your call isn't going through, it's possible the other person is on an older operating system or WhatsApp version.

Picture-in-picture

Picture-in-Picture (PiP) allows you to watch videos from supported services within ChatVibe instead of needing to go to another app. You can also continue messaging in the chat while watching the video. If a video is eligible for PiP playback, a play button will appear on the video link's preview.

To enable picture-in-picture for video calls:

Go to your device settings.

Search “Picture-in-Picture”.
