WhatsApp for Nokia and Symbian S60 devices: the new 2.16.29 version is ready for download

Posted on May 18, 2016 by Christine

nokia symbian 2 16 29 WhatsApp developers often release (nearly every day) updated versions of this popular instant messaging app, mostly for the Android platform, but also iPhones, Windows Phones, BlackBerry and Nokia devices are regularly updated, for the joy of their many users all over the world. And in fact today we will talk about a new updated version of WhatsApp, this time for Nokia, Nokia Belle and Symbian S60 devices.

This new version, number 2.16.29, has just been released and, unfortunately, doesn’t bring any new features, just minor updates. The installation file (.sis) of this latest version of WhatsApp for Nokia and Symbian devices has been increased by 3KB and has 8 modified files. These 8 modified files are connected to the application’s executable and libraries.

As we said above, unfortunately, this time you won’t find any new files, and nothing has been deleted as well. What more? Let’s see. Bad news: this latest 2.16.29 doesn’t add new emojis. Good news: you are now able to see them when one of your contacts sends them to you. And that’s a considerable improvement, isn’t it?

Furthermore, in case you don’t remember (but we think it’s unlikely), end-to-end encryption has been enabled also on Nokia devices, so the privacy of your messages has been further secured. We know that this option generated a huge debate, and is still criticized. But most of the users seem to appreciate it, and that’s important to the owners of WhatsApp. Last but not least, don’t forget that now you will be able to configure notifications simply going to Settings > General > Security.

You can install this latest 2.16.29 version of WhatsApp easily, and we really recommend you to do it. You can download manually this last .sis (installation) file going to whatsapp.com/nokia. Or you can always check on your device itself if there is a new version of WhatsApp available. You just have to open the app and go to Options > Settings > Update.

Should Your Business Use WhatsApp?

Posted on May 18, 2016 by David

WhatsApp has become the world’s most popular messaging solution with one billion users. To add icing to the cake, WhatsApp is offering free end-to-end encryption on all businesses – giving it a level of security that rivals solutions like Telegram.

Not surprisingly, many small businesspeople and entrepreneurs are wondering if they should take advantage of WhatsApp. After all the service is free and easy to use; so employees and customers are all already familiar with it.

More importantly, some very business friendly features including the ability to transmit PDF documents ; and the capability to send videos, photographs, messages, documents and audio recordings to cloud storage solutions like Dropbox from iPhones, have been added to WhatsApp. This makes WhatsApp a low-cost and easy to use communications tool, but is it really a good solution for small businesses?

WhatsApp is an Ideal Solution for Startups

The best answer to this question is that WhatsApp is a great solution for some businesses. Small enterprises, startups, freelancers and those on a tight budget can benefit from it.

WhatsApp offers some tremendous advantages to Startups and other very small businesses including:

The App and all the features it offers; including end-to-end encryption and PDF sharing, are free.

You can easily download WhatsApp and install it from this website.

Once WhatsApp is installed, it can update itself.

WhatsApp is a cross-platform solution. That means it works on a variety of devices including iPhones, Android devices, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Nokia S40 and Nokia Symbian.

You can communicate on WhatsApp using the phones that you and your employees already have, so no additional equipment is needed.

WhatsApp can be used to share videos, photographs and recordings through a system that offers end-to-end encryption.

WhatsApp can be used to share and transmit PDFs with end-to-end encryption.

You can now chat with up to 256 people on WhatsApp, which means that even fairly large businesses can use it to organize teams or conferences.

You can send regular communications to all your chat recipients by creating WhatsApp Broadcast Lists. Such lists allow you to instantly send a message to all the members of a group chat.

Many of your employees and customers are already familiar with WhatsApp, so there could be no education required.

It is possible to send messages and data to WhatsApp recipients from a personal computer by using WhatsApp Web. This means a manager or owner in the office can maintain contact with employees in the field via their phones and WhatsApp. This can also allow you to collect data from employees, customers or contractors in the field.

By using WhatsApp you can use existing Wi-Fi and phone networks for communication and data transmission.

WhatsApp is widely available in many places where other communications solutions are not found. This includes many developing nations, and anywhere you can get a mobile phone signal.

WhatsApp automatically adds people from a phone’s contact list which turns those contacts into potential customers.

How to Use WhatsApp in Your Business

WhatsApp is actually one of the most versatile SMS solutions around. That makes it an ideal means of facilitating business communications.

There are obviously many ways that a clever and creative entrepreneur could put WhatsApp work. Some of the most obvious WhatsApp businesses uses include:

As means of instantly connecting a new employee or contractor to the company’s network – without purchasing a phone or a new communications solution for that person.

To maintain regular contract with employees and contractors.

As a cheap means of collecting instant customer feedback.

To send contracts and other documents to employees in the field in the form of PDFs.

To give employees a means of sending data including photos and videos to a company cloud storage solution. Note: this feature is only available on iPhones with WhatsApp right now.

To send an instant message to all the company’s employees or customers via a broadcast list and a group chat.

To hold virtual conferences and meetings via group chats.

To get orders from customers.

To send out delivery, service and pickup instructions to employees in the field.

To make sure every employee is connected without purchasing new equipment.

To send out offers or announcements about the business; such as notification of a sale, to customers who sign up for a group chat and a broadcast list.

To carry out secure conversions with employees or clients by using the end-to-end encryption.

WhatsApp for Ecommerce: the Future of WhatsApp for Business

The biggest reason why you should take advantage of WhatsApp in your business is the solution’s future. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is committed to making WhatsApp a business solution.

That is why both end-to-end encryption and sharing of PDFs were recently added to the Messenger. It is also why Zuckerberg paid $19 billion in cash and stock for the solution two years ago.

This means we can expect some business features on WhatsApp in the next few years. Likely upgrades to the messaging app could include:

A direct interface or connection with ecommerce solutions such as Amazon.com or Alibaba.

A digital wallet similar to Apple Pay or PayPal. This could be the most potent feature because it would allow people to transmit money directly via WhatsApp. Businesses could use it to take payment or to pay bills and invoices.

Microsoft Office functions such as Excel Spreadsheets and Word documents, which currently cannot be sent via WhatsApp. This would make it easier to use WhatsApp for general business communications.

A direct interface with existing money transfer solutions such as PayPal and Venmo. This could enable to access bank accounts and credit card balances through WhatsApp. A major use for WhatsApp here would be to transfer money between countries.

A version of WhatsApp for tablets such as the iPad. This would make it far easier to use for business purposes such as reading and writing documents.

If any of these solutions becomes reality, early WhatsApp adopters will be in an excellent position to take advantage of them. Familiarizing yourself with WhatsApp could give you access to a powerful business tool that you can leverage for success without spending any money.

WhatsApp for Android: the new Beta version 2.16.84 has been released

Posted on May 17, 2016 by Christine

A new Beta version of WhatsApp for Android devices is available for download, and with this latest release we are at version number 2.16.84. The build number of this latest APK of WhatsApp is 451159, and it weighs 27.91 MB. You can install this updated version of WhatsApp on all devices running on Android 2.1 or higher. After all the recent rumours about the addition of new important features, what changes with this latest 2.16.84 Beta version? Unfortunately not to much (for the moment).

It seems in fact that Beta version 2.16.84 simply brings the usual bug fixes and performance improvements. It’s true that the Video-Calling feature has been added, but the service has not yet been activated, so you won’t be able to use it. But, if we are lucky, we will be able to use this long awaited option soon, since it is already in beta testing phase. The download of this latest APK 2.16.84 of WhatsApp for Android devices is extremely easy. You just have to go to this source link, open the file and install it on your device. As simple as that.

We really can’t wait to use the Video-Calling feature, that’s a fact, but there are some other interesting news regarding the Facebook-owned instant messaging app. The first one comes from the biggest rival of WhatsApp: Telegram. Telegram, in its fierce battle against WhatsApp, has just added a feature that can really make a difference and steal a huge amount of users from WhatsApp. With its latest update, Telegram enables its users to edit messages after they’ve sent them. What can we say? Let’s see how WhatsApp’s owners will react.

Now, are you a WhatsApper living in Germany? Well, the instant messaging app has lost its appeal against a German Court, and now the company has to provide its terms and policy in German for users living in that country. Let’s make a step back and see what happened. A couple of years ago WhatsApp was sued by the Federation of German Consumer Associations (Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband, or VZBV) because, the Association claimed, the app was breaking consumer protection rules.

In 2014 VZBV won the trial, and consequently WhatsApp appealed. Now the preliminary ruling has been confirmed and, if finalized, if WhatsApp does not translate its terms of service and privacy policy into German, it will have to pay an administrative fine of up to €250,000 ($283,000). Will this decision set a precedent? For the moment we have to wait to see whether WhatsApp will be able to appeal again, this time before Germany’s federal supreme court.

WhatsApp for desktop: the file sharing option is already available

Posted on May 16, 2016 by Christine

Here we are again, talking about our beloved WhatsApp and its new updates. After just a few days from the release of the desktop version of the popular app, we already have great news for its users. The WhatsApp desktop app, available for both Mac and Windows devices, has already received an update and now allows its users to share files.Let’s see how you can do it.

The first thing you need to know is that the file sharing feature has been released both for the web-based version and the desktop version. So, have you already installed it on your desktop? If not, don’t worry, the procedure is quite easy. In order to download the desktop app version of WhatsApp, you simply have to go to WhatsApp’s download center and, from here, download the version you need: Windows or Mac.

After that, the desktop app will open. At this point, grab your smartphone and scan the QR Code. Now WhatsApp will be mirrored on your desktop. If needed, more detailed instructions are given on your Windows or Mac desktop. That’s, as we said, for the desktop app version of WhatsApp. What if you prefer the web-based version? You just need to go to https://web.whatsapp.com/ and scan the QR Code.

Now that you are able to use WhatsApp from your desktop, let’s see how you can send a document to one of your contact on your desktop. First step: click the paperclip symbol located in the top right corner. Now the drop-down menu will be displayed, where you will find the options to share a photo or a video, take a photo with the webcam or to share a document. If the last one is the option you were looking for, just click on Document and select the file you want to share with your WhatsApp contact.

Thanks to this new feature, now you’ll be able to share with your WhatsApp contacts PDFs, Word documents and PowerPoint presentations, comfortably from your computer.

Whatsapp for Nokia N73

Posted on May 15, 2016 by admin

Introduction
The Nokia N73 is an old feature phone that was released in August of 2006 and has since been discontinued. It cam fully loaded as a basic smartphone with a 2.4 inch screen, 3 megapixel front camera, and 64 MB of RAM.

On top of that, it sported an 1100mAH Lithium ion battery that was capable of holding its battery life for a sizable amount of time. The Nokia N73 could access the internet, download video, play the radio, and play downloaded MP3s, so it was a top-of-the-line feature phone in its hey day.

Can it run Whatsapp?
Unfortunately, the Nokia N73 is not capable of running the Whatsapp mobile messaging application. The phone was actually discontinued just a few years after its release, meaning that not that many people will have it any more.

Regardless, since the Nokia N73 is a “feature” phone and not a “smart” phone, it doesn’t have an operating system that the Whatsapp application can use. The N73 runs on an old operating system (OS) called Symbian 9.1, and it is simply not capable of running the application.

What do I Need to Run Whatsapp?
The Whatsapp application will only work well with Android OS, Apple iOS, Windows OS, and Blackberry OS smartphones. If you don’t already own one of these phones, you will want to purchase one that has been made within the last five years to make sure that the phone has the most recent software capabilities.

Since Android OS and Apple iOS are the two most popular operating systems, these are the software requirements for those to platforms to run Whatsapp:

Android OS–>You must have an Android phone that can run at least OS 2.1. This is a severely outdated version of Android, but it is currently still sufficient to run the app.

Apple iOS–>For Apple iOS, you will need to have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad that is capable of running iOS 6. Again, this is a rather outdated version, but it is sufficient for the task at hand.

How to Get Whatsapp on Your Device
If you have a mobile device that is capable of running Whatsapp, all you will need to do is go to your device’s app store to download the application. Once the download and installation process is complete, you will be able to boot the application and run it on your device!

WhatsApp: FBI Director explains why he is against end-to-end encryption

Posted on May 13, 2016 by Christine

It seems that the debate around the decision taken by WhatsApp owners to provide their service of end-to-end encryption has not yet come to an end. The last statement on the matter was given by James Comey, FBI Director. This week Comey, during the “National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee“, made it clear why he is against the use of encrypted messaging adopted by services like WhatsApp.

Comey stated that “WhatsApp has over a billion customers, overwhelmingly good people, but in that billion customers are terrorists and criminals, so that now-ubiquitous feature of all WhatsApp products will affect both sides of the house,”. Obviously this statement generated further and strong reactions on the web, where the general opinion is that for each service such WhatsApp or Telegram the FBI shuts down, there will be another messaging service to replace them.

It is no mystery that the relationship between the Facebook-owned app and governments is often difficult, we have already talked about this subject on this blog, and what happened this week further confirm this fact. On occasion of Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni re-election for the fifth term and swearing cerimony, there has been for the second time in three months a total social media blackout. According to journalists and digital watchdog nonprofits in the country, starting from 11th May until the 12th, internet service providers were ordered to block access to Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp.

Ugandan block Jeff Wokulira Ssebaggala, chief executive of Unwanted Witness, a Ugandan nonprofit that advocates for freedom of speech, said that “The government knows that Museveni was not rightly elected by the majority of citizens… thus, it fears that citizens might organize online and cause an upraising [like] the Arab-spring,” .

Ugandan government’s restrictive attempts to manage the media, simply confirm the importance and the unstoppable power that messaging applications such as WhatsApp now have in every field of our everyday life.
