With over 1 billion users in tow, the WhatsApp application is probably one of the most desired and trusted call and messaging app. Despite previous news that it recently breached consumer privacy for failing to encrypt chat messages, the team that works behind the app continues to provide new updates.
According to the NeuroGadget, the latest WhatsApp update for Android; currently on its beta form is the update 2.16.178. Interestingly, the new WhatsApp beta 2.16.178 features a new font on the application called FixedSys. With only one new feature provided by the update, some few fixes and bugs were also addressed by the latest WhatsApp update.
Meanwhile, there's no major WhatsApp update that will bring the video calling feature. Despite some interesting rumors before, including an image of what looked like a beta form for the WhatsApp video calling, the latest from the popular messaging app says, this is not yet the time.
Since the current WhatsApp update 2.16.178 is in its beta version, only registered users will be able to try it. And until such time that the update is final, WhatsApp users can download the beta version on the Google Play Store.
