Are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call? Explained

Are you confused as to whether whatsapp will show your status as online during a whatsapp video or voice call, I’m here to clear up your doubts by answering the question of are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call.

Honestly, I don’t think it is proper for whatsapp to shown online when a user is making a voice call or a video call cause other friends might see it in a way that the user is snubbing them while in the real sense the user is busy with a voice or video call.

We will also see if indeed does truecaller show whatsapp calls on it mobile app or probably not. Now let’s start by going to the first question we have on this post, if whatsapp do show online for their callers.

Are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call?

Are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call

The answer is no. Whatsapp callers are not shown online during a whatsapp video call and this is also applied to whatsapp voice calls.

In this scenario, whatsapp will only show last seen on both users immediately they start to make the video call.

Once the call ends, it will display online for the user. 

Don’t Miss!!! 

Before writing on this topic I made my research using both of my android phone and iPhone, and I’m telling you that whatsapp will show last seen on their status.

Immediately they are done with the video call, the status will change to online.

This is what I found out upon trying to get answers to the question of are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call.

If you doubt this then you can do better. What you need to do is to get three mobile phones with different whatsapp account or probably collect your friends and family phones for this research.

Start a whatsapp video call on your phone by calling one of the two phones, on the other phone check your whatsapp status and see if it will show online on your status. I’m sure what you will see is offline until you’re done with the video call.

This is the same on both android phones and iPhones.

However, the case is quite different when the person is on a voice call. The person status will also be last seen but when you try to call the user through whatsapp, what you will see is user busy or on the other call.

I love this cause it will inform or notify you that the user you’re trying to call is on another caller and you should hold on.

Are both callers shown online during whatsapp voice call?

Absolutely no. Both callers are not shown online during a whatsapp voice call as what will be shown on their status is last seen.

This is same with the question of are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call.

Remember that not all Whatsapp users want to be seen online or last seen, there are lots of user that turned off the last seen or online status from the profile settings.

In this case, if the user is on a WhatsApp voice call, nothing will be displayed on the user whatsapp status cause the user removed the last seen or online status from it’s profile settings.

If the user didn’t deactivate the last seen on its profile settings, what will display during a whatsapp call is the last seen time and this also goes with the question of are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call.

If someone is on whatsapp call does it show online?

If someone is on a WhatsApp call, it will never show online until the call is over. Once the call is over the person will be shown online immediately.

How do you know if someone is on another call on WhatsApp without calling?

I’m sorry there’s no way you will know if someone is on another call on whatsapp without calling the person or the user. Even if you open your whatsapp and check the user’s whatsapp status, what you will see is the user last seen.

are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call

There’s no way or any third party app that will show if a whatsapp user is making a whatsapp voice or video call without calling the person. I’ve researched and searched the internet but all to no avail and this can never happen unless you call the user on whatsapp.

So looking for the answer for how do you know if someone is on another call on WhatsApp without calling is not possible cause you need to first contact the user on whatsapp and from there you will know if the user is on another call on whatsapp.

When I’m on a WhatsApp call will it show as busy to a person calling me through a normal call?

Yes it does show busy for those using iPhone, but those using android phone it doesn’t show busy at all and the call will go through.

I’ve talked about this previously and you can check out the post from this link how to prevent whatsapp call interrupted by phone call cause calls do interrupt or interfere on whatsapp call.

On iphones, if a user is on a WhatsApp call and a phone call comes in, what the caller will see is user busy or probably user is on another call. On android, the call will go through and it will be interrupted if the user is using a mobile data to make the whatsapp call.

On the other hand, if the user is using a Wi-Fi to make the whatsapp call, the phone will go through but the whatsapp call won’t be interrupted though the user will see the incoming call.

On the above link, I have talked on how to prevent that from occurring, that is how to prevent whatsapp call interrupted by phone call.

So if this happens to you and you’re pissed off about that, you can check out that post right away. Remember we’re still on the topic of the post, are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call.

Does truecaller show whatsapp calls

The answer is no. Truecaller doesn’t not show whatsapp calls but rather phone or cellular calls.

As at this time of writing this post, truecaller doesn’t have the feature or option to show whatsapp calls on it’s app as it is not built in way to show social messaging calls, and this is applied to others including Google voice, telegram, Skype, Google duo, duolingo, Facebook app, Imessage etc.

Truecaller can only show the phone inbuilt calls or cellular calls. Maybe in the future they may come with the idea of showing whatsapp calls or other social messaging calls

If you are on a whatsapp call does it show online?

No, it doesn’t show online until the person is done with the whatsapp call the person’s whatsapp status will then show online.

Also asking if someone is on a whatsapp call are they online? kindly note that they are not online until they are done with the call then they will be online on whatsapp.

Can truecaller record whatsapp calls?

No, truecaller cannot record whatsapp calls. I have tried it multiple times and failed, instead I used my inbuilt call recorder to recorder my whatsapp video call and voice call.

Let me say I didn’t bad job or it did work out for me on my samsung phone, you can still try your luck to see if indeed truecaller will record your whatsapp calls.

Before I go, remember that I have given the answer to the question of are both callers shown online during whatsapp video call, and once again I’m telling you that both whatsapp callers won’t be shown online on their whatsapp status but rather last seen unless they deactivated that very feature from their whatsapp account.
