WhatsApp is a popular smartphone messenger available in all platforms including Windows Phone. But the app was not the best for Windows Phone platform. Users faced any problems including late notifications, freezing, reboots, etc .But now the team has pushed out a significant update which pushes the app into version 2.10.488. The UI of the app has now improved, notifications bugs fixed and several other languages are now supported.
According to wmpoweruser, the app no longer uses background audio to maintain a connection to their service, but instead uses a proper background agent. This will solve a large number of bugs users have been experiencing with unreliable connections.
The major changes are:-
- User interface improvements
- Support for new languages.
- Abandonment of the APIs related to streaming music that left started to keep the connection to the service (Only on Windows Phone 8)
- New Emoticons
- Fixed problems with notification
- Ability to see the emoticons even in rectangular Tile
- Support Fast resume (If the app is open and you step on a notification arrives, the message opens in an immediate way)
- When you first start it will ask you to back up the chat
- Images displayed in a larger format
- Ability to make a phone call to the selected contact
It's great to see that the team has worked on to resolve the issues. It also implies that Windows Phone community is important for the the WhatsApp team.
WhatsApp is free for first year use and thereafter the app is available at $0.99/year.
