After just one week  since the release of the last update, another interesting new version of WhatsApp is available for iPhone users. Actually, version 2.12.10 for iOS improves the “quick reply” feature that was introduced with the previous version.

For those who are not yet using iOS 9 or 9.1, or who have simply missed the update, let’s recap what is the Quick Reply function. This feature allows users to reply immediately to WhatsApp messages without opening the app, but straight from the notification. The feature is not completely new, since it was already introduced with the release of iOS 8, but until now it was possible to use it only with Apple’s app.

So, what really changes with version 2.12.10 for iOS 9.1 (or higher)? Essentially a couple of things. First of all, as we said above, now you can quickly reply to messages directly from notifications (iOS 9.1+). But how? Simple: by dragging down a notification to type your message. And that’s not all.

In fact, and here comes the second novelty, to this wonderful option it has been added another one equally useful and nice. In fact, with version 2.12.10, you will be able to reply to your incoming WhatsApp calls with a message straight from the call notification (iOS 9+). Isn’t it helpful? Just imagine the time that you can save when you are having one of those days and you are bombarded of messages and calls.

Therefore, it seems worthwhile to upgrade your device with this last updated version 2.12.10 of WhatsApp for iPhone, which you can download for free from the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997.

But stay on your toes, since rumours report that more changes are coming soon. That’s exciting considering that WhatsApp Messenger already allows you to send and receive messages, photos, calls, videos and Voice Messages. And, last but not least, let’s not forget that the first year is completely free.

During the year that is going to end, we have seen a huge growth of WhatsApp, the successful instant messaging application founded by Jan Koum and Brian Acton. This popular app is currently used by more than 900 million monthly active users all over the world, and nowadays it is considered one of the best ways to keep in touch with your friends and family.

One of the reasons of the success of WhatsApp is undoubtedly that it is compatible with many mobile operating systems. You can use it with Android devices, iPhones, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Nokia Asha. WhatsApp developers frequently update each version of the application, even if the Android version is the one that receives more updates, being the operating system most used by WhatsApp users. And in fact today we are here to talk about a new Beta version that has just been released for Android devices.

Well, what changes with this 2.12.331 version? This version doesn’t come with any new feature, but it is more stable than the previous one. Furthermore, developers have also fixed some bugs. As usual, being it a Beta, you won’t find it on the Google Play Store. You can download the installing file (APK) directly from the official WhatsApp website: whatsapp.com. So now let’s see together how to install Beta version 2.12.331 on your Android device.

It is quite easy, you simply have to follow a few steps. First of all you need to uninstall the WhatsApp application that is currently running on your device. After that, you have to go to Settings > Security (or Settings > Applications) and from here set the “Unknown Sources” option. Only after you’ve enabled this option you can download the 2.12.331 APK from whatsapp.com/android website. Now, to complete the installation process, go where you have saved the APK file and simply tap on it. The installation will start.

WhatsApp is indeed the app of the moment. With more than 900 monthly active users all over the world (and the number is expected to grow) this popular instant messaging application really has become part of our every day lives. As you well know WhatsApp runs on several operating systems, so you can use it with Android and iOS devices, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Phone and Nokia Asha.

Since its launch many things have changed and improved, and WhatsApp developers are always working on new features and updates. Today we are going to talk about a new software dedicated to whom uses WhatsApp from a Mac. This new software is called Supertab, and it promises great things. With Supertab you can access WhatsApp straight from your desktop and, for example, share your videos.

Furthermore with Supertab it is also possible to send and receive messages, use the drag&drop function for images and a lot more, all of this using your Mac keyboard. Supertab is not an official WhatsApp client for OS X, since it has been designed by an independent developer. The interface contains most of the features you already have on your smartphones, and it’s extremely handy if you spend a lot of time on your Mac.

How can you install Supepertab?
When you first install it, the computer displays a QR code to be scanned with the client of the smartphone. On iOS you simply have to open the app and go to Settings > Whatsapp Web. The scan allows to connect your device to the client. Once you’ve completed this procedure, on your Mac the software will result as an extension of WhatsApp, allowing you to use the most important functions such as the list of your contacts and groups.

Supertab runs on Mac OS X 10.10 or later, and you can buy it on Mac App Store for just $2.99: http://appshopper.com/mac/utilities/supertab-for-whatsapp

Another Beta version of WhatsApp is ready to be downloaded. If you use this popular instant messaging application (one of the most used all over the world) with a Symbian 40 device (such as Nokia Asha, Nokia Asha 201 or Nokia C3) you’ll be glad to know that with version 2.13.11 WhatsApp developers have fixed some bugs and improved the stability of the application.

Furthermore you can notice another little but important change in this new version. In fact the size of the installation file (.jar) has been increased a little bit (11KB), so its size is now of 1928KB. Even if there is a lack in new features, it is always reassuring to see that WhatsApp developers are not dedicated only to the Android version of the application, and do their best to encounter the needs of users of other operating systems.

So, if you own a Nokia Asha smartphone and you wish to download this new beta version it is essential that you remember that, being a Beta, you won’t find WhatsApp version 2.13.11 on the Nokia Store (that is Opera Mobile Store). In fact, in order to download version 2.13.11, you will have to go on the official Android website at whatsapp.com/s40.

Now that you’ve clear where to find this latest update, let’s see how you can download the installation file of WhatsApp version 2.13.11. To be honest, it couldn’t be easier, so don’t panic, you won’t waste much time. First of all, you have to download the 2.13.11 jar file on your Nokia Asha device. After that, you simply have to open it and start the installation process. After that the installation is completed, the last step you have to follow is to get your phone number verified, and that’s it, you have WhatsApp Beta version 2.13.11 on your smartphone.

As always happens with the Beta versions, it could happen that you find some other problems, but we’ve seen that in due time they will be fixed with the release of a new version.

Here we are again talking about another important WhatsApp update. Step by step, this popular instant messaging application (more than 900 million active users) that accompanies our days is improving and we got used to see it updated frequently. Today we are going to discover the last update available for iPhone users who have already installed iOS 9.1 on their devices.

This new upgrade brings a great new useful feature: the Quick Reply function. This new functionality allows iPhone users to reply immediately to WhatsApp messages. Yes, now, thanks to Quick Reply, when you receive a message you don’t need anymore to open the app, but you can finallly respond directly from the notification. Actually iPhone users know that the Quick Reply feature already existed, as it was introduced when iOS 8 was released, but so far it was possible to use it only with Apple’s app.

With the roll out of  iOS 9 things have changed a lot, and now the Quick Reply feature is available also for other instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Skype. And that’s not all. If you appreciate the Quick Reply feature you may enjoy it even more with iPhone 6 or iPhone 6SPlus, where it is available with 3d Touch support.

But the good news don’t end here since iOS 9.1 brought other significant upgrades: Live Photos (which does not allow the camera to capture images if the iPhone has sudden movement), for example, and more than 150 new emojis.

But besides these really great news, iPhone users must remember that the WhatsApp Quick Reply feature can be downloaded only if they own the iOS 9.1 version, or, alternatively, another platform that runs on it. So, if you are eager to use these new features, it seems you don’t have any other choice than installing this new version on your iPhone device.

Starting from today there is a new version of WhatsApp available on the Windows Phone Store. In fact version 2.12.180 has just been released and it is available to be downloaded. What other changes brings this new version, after the important updates introduced only last week?

If with the last version we’ve seen the improvement of the search function together with the introduction of new emoji (for the joy of every Windows Phone user it is know possible to use the middle finger emoji) and the support for in-app notification sounds, with this new version 2.12.180 there seem to be just minor updates and bug fixes. But still it is quite necessary for Windows Phone users to keep their devices updated to run them smoothly. So, if you are convinced and you decide to download this new version, you simply have to click on this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/whatsapp/9wzdncrdfwbs?tduid=

The developers of WhatsApp have really a lot to do to stay on top and to face the competition of all the other instant messaging apps. Not to mention to fulfill their users needs. In fact, if today we’ve talked about the latest Windows Phone update, WhatsApp developers have to think about Android, iOS, BlackBerry and iPhone too, since WhatsApp is widely used also on these OS. And lately there are rumours about a huge improvement for Android devices.

According to these whispers a new feature which will enable users to share their documents will soon be released. At first the option will be available only for pdf and word documents, but it is possible that other extensions will be included. So far you can not share your documents via WhatsApp with your contacts, you just can send a screenshot of the text. So, let’s wait and see. Surely we won’t have to wait to much for more updates.

WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging application, has just released a new beta version for Nokia Asha smartphones that run on Symbian 40 (for example the Nokia C3). At the moment for users of Nokia Asha devices it is already possible to use WhatsApp to chat with their friends, colleagues and family, share audio files, photos and even their location.

But, unfortunately, they still can’t use the WhatsApp Calling feature since, so far, it is only available for devices that work on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry 10. And at this point Nokia Asha users doubt that they will ever be able to use the Calling feature with their devices. So, what changes with this new beta version? Once again, as already happend with the previous beta recently released, also this new WhatsApp version 2.13.9 doesn’t bring any new feature, so it could be possible that the new beta just fixes some bugs and improves the stability of the service.

It has already been noticed that the .jar (installation) file has the same size as the previous version: 1917KB now, 1917KB before the update. So now there are some rumours on the web that developers haven’t actually updated anything, only the version number. What do you think? Might it be possible?

Anyway, if you decide to install version 2.13.9 of WhatsApp for Nokia Asha devices, first of all you need to keep in mind that it’s a Beta version, not yet the stable one, so you have to download the .jar file manually in order to install it on your smartphone. As usual, you can find and download the .jar file from the official WhatsApp website: whatsapp.com/s40. But remember: before installing this new WhatsApp version 2.13.9, you have to first uninstall from your smartphone the one that you are currently using. After that you can easily proceed with the download.
