On average, a minute of a WhatsApp call consumes about 0.15-0.20 MB (megabytes) of data for voice calls [1]. However, the actual data usage can vary based on factors such as the quality of the call, network conditions, and whether it is a voice or video call.
To reduce data consumption on WhatsApp voice and video calls, you can follow these steps:
Steps to reduce data consumption on WhatsApp voice calls:
- Open WhatsApp and click on the three vertical dots at the top-right corner of the screen.
- Tap on the option "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
- Next, click on the option "Storage and Data".
- Now, enable the option "Use less data for calls" by tapping on the toggle switch in front of the option [2].
It's important to note that reducing data usage may affect the call quality or picture quality if it is a video call.
