WhatsApp messenger
bringing numerous updates to the app since the WhatsApp beta launched in Play
Store. So here I’m listing all the changes implemented in the latest update.
Text Formatting
You can now format
text in WhatsApp messages as bold or
italics. To write bold you have to
put asterisks between text. For example: *text*
And to write a
message in italics you just have to put underscores between the text for
example: _text_ and you should see the formatting on your device. The recipients
sees depend on which version of the app they’re running (2.12.510 can’t but
2.12.535 can).
Improvement in Document sharing
WhatsApp bring some improvements
in document sending feature, which was introduced few weeks ago. When you
attaching documents, you can see a new option which is ‘Browse other docs…’ this will allow you to attach files from Google
Drive and Microsoft OneDrive accounts. However, those will be converted to PDFs
before being sent.
Note: You can’t send .doc .docx .xls or .xlsx files, only Docs and Sheets are
supporting for now.
Back-ups
When the Google Drive
does schedule backup, you get a pop-up that blocks the entire app, leaving you with
nothing but the option to wait until it was over. There was no progress bar and
percentage, that was really annoying if you are chatting with someone but
thanks to the latest update, it will show you the percentage with that you will
get clear idea of how much more you have to wait.
And the last notable
change is that the phone number no longer shows up front and centre in the new
Settings screen. Your profile will show the photo, name and status.
If want to download
the latest version of WhatsApp grab it from APK Mirror or join into the
official play store beta program.
