WhatsApp is updating, fixing some bugs and focusing much more on the privacy of Android users.
Since late morning yesterday, more and more users with Android devices have been receiving the update to version 2.11.186 and are thus discovering all the new features offered.
Before detailing the more technical aspects that have been modified, let’s start by saying that this new release offers the ability to gift the annual WhatsApp subscription to a friend or relative.
Despite the chain messages that continue to circulate undeterred, there is no way to avoid paying the annual fee to the instant messaging service.
Therefore, the staff has decided to introduce a new payment system, allowing users to receive 1 year of new activity without paying for it directly: a friend will take care of delivering this gift, which is decidedly inexpensive.
However, the most relevant news concerns privacy management: until yesterday, Android users could not hide their last access time on WhatsApp.
With this update, however, you can decide not to make this information known to your contacts.
You can also decide to whom to show your status and profile picture.
Furthermore, the process of choosing a photo to send to someone via WhatsApp has been streamlined, with fewer steps, benefiting sharing speed.
The WhatsApp Android update is arriving automatically, but for those who want to try the new features immediately, you can access the Play Store and upgrade directly from there.
