One of the advantages of Google Play, apart from the millions of apps and video games it contains, is that it allows us to access the betas of certain apps well known to all, in order to access certain news that will finally reach the final version.
Today is the day for WhatsApp to land on Google Play so that any user can access their beta and thus test features that may take a few weeks to reach the final version. The only thing to keep in mind when you access a beta is that it may have certain bugs that prevent a complete experience.
WhatsApp has finally launched its Android beta program on the Google Play Store, allowing anyone to access beta versions of this popular messaging service.
To be able to access the program, the first thing you have to do is go to the beta list of the Play Store and become a beta tester with the option «Become a Tester». Once this step is done, you only have to go to the Play Store to update WhatsApp and access the latest version available to access its news.
- Access the beta program from here
- Now you only have to download the latest version from this other link
I emphasize again that you will be facing a version in which the rough edges are filed so performance may not be optimal. Anyway, it comes in handy to know what will be new that reaches the final version, so you can test features before others.
An interesting proposal by this popular messaging app thate has to put the batteries a little due to how well another one that is slowly taking over it is doing, Telegram. It was precisely this that launched GIFs as a great novelty.
