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.

Great New WhatsApp Features

The team at WhatsApp is apparently very close to adding video calling to the world’s favorite messaging solution.

Pictures of what is apparently a test of a WhatsApp video call appeared on a German blog called Macerkopf on December 21, 2015. The screen shots show what could be an incoming video call in a WhatsApp screen.

As you can see from the images above, the screenshot seems to show some of the symbols seen on WhatsApp. It also shows what looks like somebody’s living room, so this could be a picture taken by a tech and sent back to WhatsApp’s corporate offices in San Jose, California.

Even though there is no specific WhatsApp interface for tablets, there is a way that you can run the popular messaging solution on most tablets.

The solution is WhatsApp Web, which is simply a version of the app designed to run on computers, including PCs and Apple products. Since WhatsApp Web is designed to run on almost any computer, it can run on a tablet as well. Something that many people forget is that a tablet is simply a laptop with a different design.

One of the big complaints about WhatsApp in recent months has been the subpar performance of the version for Widows 10. Fortunately, WhatsApp is trying to correct with a new beta program for Windows smartphone users.

The good news is that the latest version of the beta test involves many of the features available to Android and iPhone users on WhatsApp that were not available to Windows users in the past. WhatsApp is trying to make its Windows version in line with the others.

Something very surprising happened on November 16, 2015: Alphabet, Google’s parent company, and Facebook announced an intriguing alliance. On that day Google’s search engine started crawling through Facebook profiles.

Among other things, that means some data collected from Facebook sources will appear as results from Google searches conducted on smartphones, The Wall Street Journal reported . This announcement is a huge one because Alphabet’s Android is the world’s most popular mobile operating system, with one billion active users , according to Endgadget.

Many people will be wondering: What is the difference between Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp? After all, both solutions are easy-to-use messaging applications that are owned by the same company—Facebook.

Actually, there’s a world of difference between Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp , which are the world’s two most popular messaging applications. WhatsApp currently has around 900 million users, and Facebook Messengers has around 700 million users, according to London’s Daily Express.
