WhatsApp's closest rival Telegram has announced that it is launching video call functionality in all its desktop and mobile apps. "You can start a video call from your contact's profile page, and switch video on or off at any time during voice calls," the company said in a statement on Friday. Like all other video content on Telegram, video calls support picture-in-picture mode, "allowing you to scroll through chats and multitask while maintaining eye contact". As with the voice calls, all video calls in Telegram are being end-to-end encrypted. In addition, Telegram has also added more animated emoji options for commonly used emoji.
