WhatsApp calls have been a hot topic in Dubai for years, with users being unable to make calls via the app due to restrictions from the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). However, in recent days, several Dubai residents have reported that they are now able to make WhatsApp calls to local numbers.

According to reports, the issue has been resolved for some users after they updated their WhatsApp app. While the TRA has not yet made an official statement regarding the matter, the news has brought relief to many WhatsApp users in Dubai who have been unable to make voice or video calls via the app for years.

For those who rely on WhatsApp as their primary communication tool, the ability to make calls via the app is a welcome change. Many residents have expressed their joy on social media platforms, stating that they can finally make free calls to their family and friends in Dubai without having to rely on expensive phone plans or alternative messaging apps.
