In 2016 WhatsApp launches program to anyone who wants to be part of his team of beta testers. This means you'll get the trial version of the application to try the latest version before being published. You may have some errors but with your help to improve test. Also if you have suggestions you can send them to email support.

To participate in the program only have to visit the following link, sign in with your Gmail account you have on your smartphone and click on 'Becoming tester':

The latest update of WhatsApp, which is not yet available in Google Play but for Beta Tester includes the option of quick response from the notification bar. As you can see in the image. 

No need to enter the application we will be able to quickly answer all our WhatsApp. 

This latest version of WhatsApp is not yet available in Google Play, only through direct download via the official website of WhatsApp has reduced the size of 27.56 MB to 27.39 MB. It contains no new functionality but improves performance and safety.

Weight reduction may seem a priori but a decrease of 174 KB supposed to eliminate many lines of code. It may be a deep optimization or function that you will never see the light. I guess we'll never know.

This version incorporates rich text. So far the text you wrote in WhatsApp went completely flat from one device to another without the possibility of putting any emphasis on your words. Now you can give your senses a little double italic or bold bookmark. This version is now available through Beta Tester program.

This version incorporates a new, more integrated with Material Design settings menu. In the new menu Help section, previously in first place, he drops to the penultimate position. Instead we now find a renewed profile section which appear directly our profile picture. We also found a new paragraph under notifications spent using data.

Some rumors also assume that in version 2.12.515 will have several strong advances. We are talking about sharing images directly from places in the cloud as Dropbox, Google Drive or Drive One, Documents up to 100 MB and can zoom in the videos.

WhatsApp version 2.12.505 is currently in BETA phase. To download you have two options. The first is to participate in the tester program WhatsApp, if this does not convince you, you have a second option is, without being tester, APK download the latest version from this page and install WhatsApp on your phone.

This latest release brings significant new features but no fixed previous errors and makes it more stable.

This version is within the program BetaTester The latest news we can find in this Beta version is the ability to send attachments in a message. The way to do this is simple. We go to the clip to attach and options already known to those now category 'Documents' will be deployed adds. Simply select the document (currently only PDF) that we share and automatically sent. To fit this option, they have removed the option to select video and have integrated in 'Gallery'.

I must say that this is not new, this feature is already an old acquaintance of Telegram .

It is available from the official version WhatsApp for Android has a couple of new features. Now you can copy the links easily with just press and hold on them. So you can easily paste the link in another application or send in an email.

The other novelty is that you can schedule the periodic emptying a chat. In any conversation, either a group or a single contact, click on the three points above right. In the drop-down menu select 'More' and here select 'Empty chat'. Now you can choose between completely empty, empty messages older than 30 days or prior to 6 months. If you do not want to lose your outstanding messages do not forget to mark the last tab.

After the new package emoji be made available to all users on Play Store, WhatsApp has received another update that adds a familiar feature: compatibility with Google Drive. This interesting feature has appeared and disappeared many times the application we have almost lost count, so it is difficult to predict whether this time has come to stay.

The function is to store messages and multimedia files on Google Drive to keep every time WhatsApp is reinstalled.

Besides this, version 2.12.453 has support for other languages and new compatibilities with permission management apps for  Android Marshmallow .

WhatsApp has been upgraded to a new version that brings new emoji both emocioines, and animals, as in other sections. This version is still not on Google Play, which follows the 2.12.367, but you can download the APK. It is also becoming a notification to our smartphones to download the new version.

Version 2.12.413 does not come with big changes. He added some improvements and corrected some mistakes but not about a revolutionary upgrade but rather improves performance and serguridad.

WhatsApp is updated in version 2.12.373 and the crazy with emoji. A new organization and dozens of new emoji including all kinds of families, new sports, modes of transport, animals ... a total of 138 new emoji.

You can download this version in APK format through the web of WhatsApp, since it is not available on Google Play, from this link . This version was already available on iPhone but just out on Android.

The new version of WhatsApp available on Play Store brings the same news that appeared in the last APK. Now, updating the application through the Android application store can mark messages as favorites to find them easily later.

You can also preview the links sent through the application, similar to as shown, for example, Facebook way. 

In addition, this version supports sharing function directly from Android Marshmallow , which lets you choose a chat more easily each time you want to share content.

From version 2.12.224 it is available in the Settings menu option to make backups of your conversations WhatsApp Google Cloud Drive. Just enter settings 'and calls Chats' in 'Backup' link your Google account and configure when you want them.

There are two ways to update this application. The first and easiest is through Google Play, where if it is not the refresh button is that you have the latest version. However, it is not the most modern, as WhatsApp take to upload the new version to Google Play, so to really have the latest version should follow the steps I offer below:

Once this is finished, you will have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. I advise perform this procedure with the smartphone, as we get rid of having to connect to the USB device and we can install directly.

I remember that sometimes the application asks you to update, and does it automatically, without visiting Google Play, as happened with the 528. version In these cases, when the application itself that is updated, we can be sure that we the latest version.

Fiber Phone: Google dares to landlines

With the expansion of mobile phones and smartphones are increasingly less landlines , those in which you have to be in a particular place to receive and answer calls. There are actually no longer be in a particular place to call from a landline, there are services that carry fixed to our mobile, but that's another story. The point is that Google has its fiber optic project in some US cities, places where you can hire the Internet the Internet giant, and now have dared to get into the field of fixed telephones. There is still a lot of life to fixed lines, and Google Fiber launches Fiber Phone for its customers , a service to also be fixed with Google. Fiber Phone, fixed phone Google google-fiber-phone-2 Fiber Phone is a service that, in exchange for $ 10 a month, can call unlimited any number of the country , with rates of Google Voice for international calls. We can keep our old number, use call waiting, identify the receiver, use a voicemail or call emergency without major problems: we are talking about a fixed line really , no VoIP. Google did not have to make a fixed service calls and nothing else, so our Fiber Phone number is also in the cloud . That means we can receive calls from any phone, tablet or computer that has an Internet connection. Something that opens the door to, for example, receive calls on our mobile fixed when we are not at home.
