You’ll be happy to know that finally WhatsApp released an updated version for Android devices which can be enjoyed by everyone because it’s already available on the Google Play Store. And that’s not all. This new stable version (yes, stable, not a Beta) confirms the introductions of several features tested with the previous betas. So, let’s see immediately what else you can do now with WhatsApp for Android.

Rich link previews
This fantastic option allows you to send links to your contacts with the preview of the URLs. Furthermore, you can give your link a title. Handy, isn’t it? Thanks to this feature the recipient will not have to open the link immediately (or every time) to know what this is about.

Starred Messages

This new feature is already very popular. What is it about? By starring a message, you’ll be able to get back to it later, and, most importantly, you’ll be able to find it straightaway. What is the right procedure to star a message? It’s extremely easy. You simply have to tap and hold on it until a star button shows up at the top: tap on it as well. Using the same method you can remove the star. After you’ve stored your favourite messages you can access them from the overflow menu inside the app. Moreover, to make easier the search, the messages are organized chronologically and the contact’s name will be immediately visible.

Direct share on Marshmallow
First of all: this feature works only on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. This options allows you to share things in a much quicker way. How does it work? Suppose you are online and want to share something, a button will pop up and will let you share with the last people you talked to.
