WhatsApp is no new app to any smartphone user.
This app has a massive following of more than 800 million people and the most interesting thing about this figure is that all of these people use the app actively throughout the month.
In the recent past, WhatsApp has been receiving many updates and major changes as well. Towards the end of last year, encryption of messages came in. There was the introduction of message delivery reports again towards the end of last and when this year started, the app saw the introduction of a new WhatsApp Web PC client which allows the users to chat on PCs and tablets. This update was then followed by a much awaited feature – WhatsApp voice calling.
WhatsApp voice calls have been the trending thing in the past few months. The feature first showed up on Android and it was later imported to iOS, BlackBerry and now the Windows Phone users are beta testing it. This change has seen the app receive a new interface that includes calling, there is also support for transfer of funds and somewhere along the way we saw Facebook introduce the ability to create WhatsApp backups on Google Drive as well, although the feature disappeared into thin air.
With these many improvements and new features, there is definitely more to come. But how can you know that these features are coming to your platform? Well, there is no better way of staying ahead of your pals in the game than keeping an eye on the beta releases of WhatsApp. You can easily get a WhatsApp APK from the official website of the app and install it on your Android device without any problem. This will grant you full access to any feature that is yet to be released by WhatsApp, but is in progress, being developed for the public.
WhatsApp APK files are not available in the Google Play Store
The Google Play Store is the official Android Market for Android devices. All apps must be downloaded from this store if you want to be sure with every aspect of the app, be it performance, security, stability, among others. However, since the latest versions of WhatsApp beta are usually APK files, there is no chance of finding it in the store.
How and where to download WhatsApp APK
To get hold of one, you must visit the official app website or other third party websites like apkmirror.com to download the app. However, you’ll still need to make some changes to the settings of your phone if you want to install the app. These changes involve heading to the Security settings of your phone and while in there, check out for the option labeled “Unknown sources” and check it. Make sure this option is unchecked once you are done with installing the latest WhatsApp APK.
Another way of having full access to WhatsApp APK files is by becoming a fully-fledged WhatsApp beta tester. This means you have to be a member of the beta testing program such that whenever there is a beta version of the app available, you will be notified and you can then try the app by installing it.
After the unknown sources option has been enabled, head back to the Apps settings and tap on All apps. While in there, find your currently installed WhatsApp and tap on it. Go ahead and uninstall it from the phone so as to allow the installation of the beta file. However, make sure you create a backup of your messages just in case you want them back on your WhatsApp APK.
