It is the last news that comes from those who know more WhatsApp code, and specifically, the beta of iOS. We are talking about @WABetaInfo that has given some good news this morning about the messaging application. Among them is the finding that the WhatsApp video calls are and ready to be activated at any time.
Through his Twitter account us again to give innovations that come from the latest beta of WhatsApp for iOS, which is having much more movement than the Android and that suggests that first will come the functions that are now in evidence to make the leap then to Google software.
Why it seem that WhatsApp video calling on iOS will first be activated?
It makes perfect sense because, if we look at the market around the world, it is best to do a test on a platform that has, approximately, 25% of the market with a more or less standardized phones compared to the other 75% full of brands, models and each in a different version of the OS.
The WhatsApp video calling for iOS will appear at any time
But back to the subject that concerns us, WhatsApp and its video calling, as we indicated from @WABetaInfo, are already ready and completed, so that it can be forced to bring up the interface but still was not activated service on your servers. I.e., already is a matter of time that the company now in the hands of Facebook you of the metaphorical button which will activate this new feature, on the other hand promised since last summer.
@WABetaInfo… to another beta because it depends from the server, so WhatsApp can enable video calls in anytime in 2.16.7.

It remains to be seen if it will be a service for users of the beta of iOS first and then go spreading. In addition, there is also doubt if will return to produce the same effect as calling, namely, that those who are taking them activated are the key to activate those of others – which led to many people, unwisely, put your phone number on the Internet available to anyone who wanted to sign him to an SMS premium.
What can happen if you post your phone number on the Internet (and almost nothing is good)
New mentions in WhatsApp
This already indicated in the list of updates that we advanced yesterday and now we have shown how the references to contacts within the groups and are just like that on Twitter. I.e. an arroba (@) and the name of the user will be enough us to draw your attention.
A new screenshot is available now for you mention (Mention picker).

No support for Android 2.3 or lower
Although we now leave the beta of iOS, we can not only review other news about the messaging application that have emerged today, and which have echoed in ADSLZone. Users who have Android 2.3 or below, which already should be few, not will continue to update the application since you lose the support for these versions. In fact, if you uninstall it not can download it from Google Play, where it is always the latest available but not the former, starting with the next.
