An updated version (number 2.12.340.2) of WhatsApp for BlackBerry 10 smartphones is available, and brings some considerable improvements along with the usual bug fixes. The news can sound a little bit odd considering that the developers of WhatsApp have announced a few months ago that they will stop updating BlackBerry 10 OS by the end of this year. But, until then, they are still working on the platform to keep it updated and smoothly running, and that’s good news.So, starting from January 2017, WhatsApp will still run on BlackBerry 10, but the app will no longer receive updates, just those concerning the security of the app.

That being said, let’s see what changes with this latest 2.12.340.2 version of WhatsApp for BlackBerry 10.  First of all it has been added the support for web link previews on outgoing messages. Furthermore, this updated version of the app finally supports additional web client features and also the contact info screen has been updated for the organization of phone number.

What’s really great is that developers were also able to solve a couple of annoying errors that were causing issues to the users of BlackBerry 10 devices : the first problem solved concerned the history backup process, the other one was related to the connection via proxy servers. As we said, these issues have been fixed so now you shouldn’t encounter problems anymore.

How can you install this latest 2.12.340.2 version of WhatsApp on you BlackBerry 10 smartphone? The procedure is quite quick and easy. In order to download this latest version of our beloved instant messaging app, you simply have to open the BlackBerry World and search for WhatsApp and, after you have found it, you can immediately install it on your device. Remember: as soon as the installation is complete, use your mobile phone number to get verified and log into your WhatsApp account. That’s it, as simple as that.

Today we are going to talk about the latest update of WhatsApp for Android devices. Among WhatsApp users, those who use this popular instant messaging app through Android devices are the majority, therefore it does not surprise if this is the version that receives most of the updates and before the other platforms. And the new 2.16.118 Beta version is very interesting, since it adds another useful feature much awaited by WhatsApp users. 2.16.118 APK file of WhatsApp for Android in fact adds message quotes and replies. But before explaining how this new feature works, we need to say that probably some of you have already found this option in older versions of WhatsApp for Android such as 2.16.116 and 117, so it might be a server-side switch.

So, let’s see how you can use this new message quotes and replies feature. The first thing you need to do is to select the message you want to reply to (it can be any message in any conversation, text or media, and one-on-one or group chat message). Once you’ve selected the message, you’ll see a Reply button at the top of the screen, just tap it and you’ll see the quoted message as a preview on top of the text entry box where you are typing your reply. Needless to say that if you change your mind you can remove the quote by simply tapping the x button. What happens after you’ve sent your reply? It will be visible inside the conversation with the quoted message attached on top of it. What’s really nice of this latest feature is, as we said above, that you can quote anything: text, video or picture.

Today we have really great news for those of you who use WhatsApp with  iOS. The new 2.16.7.1 Beta release in fact not only comes with several bug fixes and performance improvements, but, finally, adds support for autoplaying GIF images. The news of this latest major change was given by @WABetaInfo, a Twitter account which tracks beta releases of the app.

Unfortunately for the moment we are not yet able to tell you when GIF image support will be available as a stable version and, most importantly, when this latest feature will be available on Android devices as well. But we do know that GIF support was very much awaited by WhatsApp users. And probably it’s not a coincidence that this latest feature has been added soon after that Viber, one of the biggest rivals of WhatsApp, added GIF image support to its platform.

And that’s not all dear WhatsAppers. This latest 2.16.7.1 Beta version of WhatsApp for iOS brings also other changes to the app. Thanks to this latest update, now WhatsApp users will be able to save the gif image to their camera roll (including the option to save it as a simple image), or to reply directly to gif image messages. Furthermore, Beta 2.16.7.1 brings also encryption support for gif sharing and support for 3D Touch actions on gif images (Peek and Pop).

It is a fact that users of instant messaging services are always looking for new ways to communicate their moods and feelings, and sending GIFs seems to be perfect for this purpose. For this reason Facebook itself added the feature on its Messenger app, followed by Twitter. In February, Twitter revealed that last year users of Twitter shared over 100 million GIFs “expressing everything from their mood, to an amazing dunk, to their favorite dance move from a music video“.
