Today I spend the day talking about Telegram because Line and WhatsApp are copying some of its most obvious features such as end-to-end encryption in the first, so that the second implements today what would be the URL link preview that we usually share with our contacts.
With this on the table, surely none of these apps could say that they have it all said, since they are going to find themselves at some point with the surprise that one has known how to evolve better than expected. We just have to see Samsung as it seemed I had it all done on Android to now find different actors making things very difficult for him.
Previewing links
WhatsApp today has integrated a novelty that will let you know which links they share from the groups or conversations we have. In this way we can save on pressing it to open it, if we see that the content does not appeal to us or we do not want to use data from our monthly plan with the operator that we have it.
Works in the same way as in Telegram, so if you are used to them in this other app, it won't take long to get used to them. One of those small details that add quality and that we see going from one app to another to evolve along with each of them, such as Line, Telegram and many others like the central one in this post.
From the APK
As every time we anticipate these little news, it usually happens that until a few hours pass, the update does not appear in the Play Store. This implies that we have to access websites like apk.mirror that perform an excellent service to access the APKs and thus have the latest version of WhatsApp.
Having said that, remind you that only those who have this version, 2.12.312, will be able to display the URL links that all users send through the different groups or messages.
As I have already mentioned, a small novelty that we have already been able to find in other apps such as the demanded Telegram, and that we will surely see more like this, such as that end-to-end encryption that is being found as one of the required functionalities already by many users, to be sure that their conversations do not go beyond their own telephone and the one who receives them.
What would be advisable is that put the batteries a little so that they do not give the impression that they are copying characteristics to other messaging apps, although this can be difficult when you have a large one like Facebook behind you. Although that said, the pace of updates has also been increasing since Mark Zuckerberg went through the box and acquired it.
Download the APK of WhatsApp version 2.12.312
2.12.313 and 2.12.315 no longer bring it.
