WhatsApp for iOS: latest 2.16.7.1 Beta version finally gets GIF support

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Christine

GIF iOS 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“.

Posted on June 7, 2016 by David

Android users just got a nice present from WhatsApp – the solutions 2.16.2 beta download for their operating system is now available. The tech press indicates that this version is chock full of new capabilities and features that users will love.

The most exciting of these is end-to-end encryption which provides a very high level of security for all data sent using 2.16.2. A Wired article indicates that the new version is secure that WhatsApp itself will not be able to crack it.

Great New WhatsApp Features

Yet news articles make it clear that the encryption is only the tip of the iceberg. There are lots of other goodies for users who download and install beta. Some of the most exciting new features include:

The ability to send and receive PDF documents via WhatsApp and to send PDFs to cloud storage solutions from WhatsApp. This means that you will be to send any document over WhatsApp by simply converting it into a PDF.

Quicker reply which means you will be able to reply to messages without entering WhatsApp.

The ability to activate multiple selections by pressing and holding on more than one contact profile picture at once.

The ability to create new broadcasts and groups by simply selecting a contacts’ profile picture.

The ability to view, delete and archive chats by simply tapping on profile pictures.

The ability to choose from 27 colors of wall paper.

The ability to work emojis into everyday language.

The ability to clear a chat but keep starred messages.

The ability to view starred messages from contact or group info.

You can now see PDFs you’ve sent or received by tapping Media from either contact or group info.

You can now add a PDF from Google Drive or Microsoft One Drive if you have Android 4.4 on your phone by simply tapping media in contact or group info. That means it is easier than ever to see PDFs sent to you by contacts or group members.

Best of all the new version is supposed to download and install automatically, if you are using version 2.13.535 on an Android phone. All you will need to do is to connect to Wi-Fi to get this to happen.

An Improved Camera Interface

The biggest and perhaps most exciting news about the WhatsApp 2.16.2 Beta Update for Android is a greatly improved camera interface . News reports indicate that WhatsApp’s engineers have completely updated the camera interface.

This corrects a major complaint that some users have had, namely that the camera interface has not been upgraded in a long, long time. Here are some of the new features you’ll find in the camera:

The annoying box that appeared at the top of the screen while shooting is gone. Instead there is a small tip on how to shoot a video when you start the process.

There are new icons for the camera and the flash.

That ugly and annoying blue-colored shutter has been replaced with a white color button.

All you need to do to shoot a video is to touch the white shutter button which will turn red when recording starts.

To stop shooting a video all you will need to do is take your finger off the button.

There is now one button for sending images and videos in the regular chat window. The big circular send and cancel buttons are now history.

To cancel video or image sending all you will have to do is to tap the button at the top left hand corner of the screen.

The caption box is now at the bottom which gives you a better view of the image.

Unfortunately, some of the better features on WhatsApp for iPhone such as cloud-storage integration are not yet available for Android, although they should appear in future beta testing versions.

One feature that is available right now is improved group sharing. It is now possible to share videos and photos with up to 256 in a group. This means you can send out videos or photos to all of your friends, family or coworkers.

The advent of end-to-end encryption also means that your photographs and videos are going to be far more secure on WhatsApp than ever before. That means you will be able to use WhatsApp as a sort of SMS photo album or video storage solution in the future.

How to Get the WhatsApp 2.16.2 Beta Update

The biggest drawback to the WhatsApp 2.16.2 Beta Update is that it is not available through Google Play. Instead you will have to download it from this special Google Play page .

WhatsApp is inviting people to participate in its beta testing program. This means that Android users can get access to more advanced versions of WhatsApp that contain features not yet available to the general public.

These beta versions often contain features and improved or enhanced versions of existing features. Some of them are unstable or have a few bugs but you will be able to get the latest features long before your friend and family.

If you have an Android device all you will need to do to get the beta version is to go to this Google Play Page . Once there click on Become a Tester and wait for the update.

Note: you will have to have the latest version of WhatsApp Messenger on your Android device to participate in Beta Testing. You can download the attest version 2.16.20 from this website . To get the version you will need to have a phone with Android OS 2.1 or above installed.

WhatsApp recommends that you have an unlimited data plan for the download to look properly. Unfortunately the current version of 2.16.20 is not set up to support tablet devices yet. That might change in the future so watch the WhatsApp testing page on Google Play.

If you want to keep participating in WhatsApp Beta Testing you will have to provide feedback. You will have to send feedback to the email provided. The feedback is crucial because it helps WhatsApp’s engineers improve the solution for everybody.

How to avoid WhatsApp scam

Posted on June 7, 2016 by Christine

It seems that recently WhatsApp users have been affected by scams more than usual. Many users are in fact reporting that they are receiving a message that invite them to switch to WhatsApp Gold (the famous premium version of the instant messaging app). This version of WhatsApp was so far available only to celebrities, but the spammer has contacted WhatsApp users encouraging them to change version of the app, and promising that using WhatsApp Gold would allow them to make video calls, delete messages after they’ve sent them and send 100 pictures at once.

And that’s just the last one of several other malicious softwares circulating on the web. For the moment it is unknown how many users were affected by the scam, and it’s not even sure if it’s real. The Telegraph did a test and was not able to find WhatsApp Gold in the Android or iOS app stores, and discovered also that the website address in the message reports a 404 error page. In the meantime, another scam is still affecting users. We are talking about WhatsApp Plus. This scam attracts users claiming that it will allow to send pictures, videos and music files of an unlimited size. But obviously WhatsApp Plus has nothing to do with WhatsApp, and users who have already downloaded this fake app will have another unpleasant surprise.

That’s what the company said: “WhatsApp Plus is an application that was not developed by WhatsApp, nor is it authorised by WhatsApp. WhatsApp Plus contains source code which WhatsApp cannot guarantee as safe and that your private information is potentially being passed to 3rd parties without your knowledge or authorisation.” As a result, the Facebook-owned service has decided to block users who have downloaded WhatsApp Plus. What if you are one of them? To be able to use again WhatsApp you have to delete the fake app, and then, after 24 hours, WhatsApp will enable you again to use the official app.

To avoid these kind of problems there are some tips that you can follow. The main suggestion comes from WhatsApp itself. In fact the instant messaging service has alerted its users that WhatsApp will never send a message asking users to upgrade their device or to download another app. Suspicious messages are also those in which the sender says to be associated with WhatsApp, or when somebody offers you a reward, or when you are asked to forward the message.

WhatsApp clearly recommends users to report these kind of messages to the company and to “block the sender, disregard the message and delete it“. So be careful and always think twice before opening messages or before downloading third party apps.

WhatsApp for desktop: have you already tried Whatsie?

Posted on June 1, 2016 by Christine

whatsie A few weeks ago WhatsApp users were certainly very pleased to discover that a new native desktop client of their favourite instant messaging app had just been released. What more can you do now? Thanks to this new desktop client, WhatsApp users who spend most of their day on their laptops or computer are now allowed to stay in touch with their family and friends, without using mobile phones.

Furthermore, unlike Whatsapp Web, you can use it even when the browser doesn’t work. But despite the great usefulness of WhatsApp for desktop, it seems that many people have not appreciated its aesthetics, especially compared to that of WhatsApp for Windows Phone. That’s why the same people who developed Facebook Messenger for desktop decided to create Whatsie. What is Whatsie?

This third-party app is not so different from WhatsApp’s desktop client, since it just customizes WhatsApp Web. The main difference, as we mentioned above, is that Whatsie can be used without the support of a browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Edge. At this point you might think that Whatsie works like Whatswrapp, the app that you can find in the Windows Store, but they are not exactly the same.

What can you do with Whatsie? First of all, you have the choice of 7 themes, and you can change them whenever you prefer. Then, of course, the app offers toast notifications and it can be placed on top of the Windows 10 notification bar. Furthermore, another option allows you to launch Whatsie on Startup.

Whatsie runs on Mac and Linux computers, and works also with OS X. Whatsie is even compatible with Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora CentOS and Red Hat. So, do you like Whatsie and wonder how to install it on your computer? You won’t find the app on the Windows Store app. To download it you need to go to the developers website.
