Application updates surprise users?

It should be noted that WhatsApp updates aim to improve the application and provide a better user experience.

Since last year, many updates have already been approved and are available to users. On the other hand, at the moment there are many new tools that are being tested, which, if approved, could be available to all users of the messaging application.

Among the updates already available to all users is the ability to leave groups silently, without sending a notification to the conversation, and remove online from your profile.

Therefore, a significant part of the new functionality involves greater user privacy while using the application. It should be noted that group admins will still know if you leave, but other members will not receive the notification.

One way to ensure that you have access to all new features as soon as they are released is to make sure that your app is updated with the latest version.

In this sense, you can check that WhatsApp has been updated on your cell phone by accessing your device’s app store and searching for WhatsApp in the search bar. Click on it and if no new updates appear, it means that the app is already in its latest version on your phone.

On the other hand, if there is an update to be made, you can tap on Update App. In this way, you will be able to count on the new functionality.
