By having your WhatsApp application updated, you have access to the latest functions.
The WhatsApp application, used by more than 2 billion people around the world, presents new features every year in its updates.
For example, the most recent features that have been released in the app Meta (formerly Facebook), are the option to send ephemeral images and videos; the ability to connect on multiple devices; listen to audio messages before sending them and more.
To keep the messaging platform up-to-date and continue to interact smoothly, WhatsApp must be updated to its latest version. While your phone may allow you to set up automatic updates for your apps, here’s how to update it manually.
How to update WhatsApp from an iPhone

- Tap the little person-shaped icon in the upper right corner of the screen to open your account information.
- Scroll down until you find the “Updates Available” section.

How to update WhatsApp from an Android phone
- Tap the Google Play Store icon on your Android home screen.
- Touch your profile photo from your Google account.

- Tap on “Available Updates”
- Next to WhatsApp, tap “Update” to install the latest version.
