“Calling” and “Ringing” are two different things on whatsapp call.

@Morris_Monye Ringing doesn’t mean the person is online but it means they have an active internet connection

@48kjava @Morris_Monye Dictionary meaning of online: Of a computer: actively connected to the Internet or to some other communications service. Being online implies being connected to an active internet network. Your comparison should be between being online and not responsive.

@Shy_loow @Morris_Monye You just let the whole point fly over your head,whatsapp meaning of online means you are inside the app,there is a reason why you have the online and offline status on social media apps

@48kjava @Morris_Monye If you genuinely think that being outside the app defines your offline status, then I think you've got it all wrong, chief. The delivery of a WhatsApp call is hinged on your general internet connection not by your presence in or outside the app. Feel free to test on your device
