You might have seen a text on your Instagram chat with a friend telling you that you can now call each other.
If you are wondering how this can happen and how you can manage your call activities.

However, if you ever mistakenly call anyone on Instagram, I suggest you read this guide that helps you clear call here.
So, to use the “you can now call each other” feature on Instagram, you can easily access this in your direct message area by swiping to see recipient and call.
When you do this, you can make a video call or a voice call with any recipient of your choice.
You can also speak for as long as you want. Meaning you don’t have to rely on telephone data conversations anymore.
This feature started on WhatsApp and is now available on a platform like Instagram.
A lot is happening, and Mark Zuckerberg is doing everything possible to make the platform comfortable for many users.
However, so as not to bore you with a lot of talks. Let us get deep into today’s guide and discuss how to use this feature.
Instagram Call Option

Instagram Call Option Not Showing
If you do not have the call option feature on your phone, you should update your Instagram app to the latest version.
