Un nuevo proyecto ha surgido de Facebook y se trata de una app exclusiva en la que podrás hacer llamadas con más de dos personas a la vez.
Aunque hoy en día la mayor parte de la comunicación entre amigos y familiares se centra en las videollamadas; Facebook ha puesto un gran empeño en CatchUp, una nueva aplicación que se centra en llamadas de voz con hasta 8 personas, perfecta para todos aquellos que prefieren mantener conversaciones telefónicas y aún no están listos para las videollamadas.
CatchUp tiene como objetivo facilitar las llamadas de voz y mostrar cuando algún contacto está disponible para hacerlas; esto a través de una lista de amigos y familiares que se mostrarán activos o inactivos y notificaciones de estados “Disponible”, como solía suceder en el antiguo Messenger. Una lista que se sincronizará con los contactos que se tengan guardados en el teléfono o bien, con los amigos de Facebook.
Entre otras de las cualidades de CatchUp es que no se necesita una cuenta de Facebook para poder acceder a ella, y que además logra conectarse con hasta 8 personas para compartir una misma llamada de voz; con la posibilidad de crear y unirse a grupos de familiares y amigos.
Por ahora, CatchUp de Facebook sólo se encuentra disponible en Estados Unidos, ya sea en versión Android o iOS, en un “modo de prueba”, para que los usuarios la comiencen a utilizar, manden sus comentarios y los desarrolladores de la app trabajen en sus mejoras y pueda ser lanzada a nivel mundial.
Se dice que esta idea surgió mucho antes de la contingencia y que comenzó a ser desarrollada por un grupo interno de Facebook; pero debido a la situación, la compañía puso manos a la obra en Facebook Messenger Rooms para hacer videollamadas con hasta 50 personas. Pero, al ya haber sido lanzada esta última, ahora es turno de CatchUp, la cual podría también integrarse a WhatsApp e Instagram como Rooms.
Ahora existirán dos opciones de Facebook para estar siempre comunicados. Y dinos, ¿prefieres videollamadas o llamadas de voz?

A new project has emerged from Facebook and is an exclusive app where you can make calls with more than two people at once.
Although nowadays most of the communication between friends and family is focused on video calls; Facebook has put a lot of effort in CatchUp, a new application that focuses on voice calls with up to 8 people, perfect for those who prefer to have phone conversations and are not yet ready for video calls.
CatchUp aims to facilitate voice calls and show when a contact is available to make them; this through a list of friends and family that will be shown as active or inactive and notifications of "Available" status, as used to happen in the old Messenger. A list that will be synchronized with the contacts saved in the phone or with Facebook friends.
Among other qualities of CatchUp is that you do not need a Facebook account to access it, and also manages to connect with up to 8 people to share the same voice call, with the ability to create and join groups of family and friends.
For now, Facebook CatchUp is only available in the United States, in either the Android or iOS version, in a "trial mode", so users can start using it, send their comments and the app's developers can work on improvements and it can be launched worldwide.
It is said that this idea arose long before the contingency and began to be developed by an internal Facebook group, but due to the situation, the company set to work on Facebook Messenger Rooms to make video calls with up to 50 people.
