WhatsApp Update 2.12.351 for Nokia S60 Released But Voice Calling Feature Still Missing
Nokia will again get the latest update from WhatsApp with update 2.12.351 coming in. According to NeuroGadget, the latest update from WhatsApp doesn't come with a changelog, meaning it will not carry some new features for the device, but will essentially fix some bugs present on the app.
Currently on its beta phase, WhatsApp update 2.12.351 is available on the Nokia S60 with some quick fix taken from its users' comments and complaints in the past. Unfortunately, this latest WhatsApp update still doesn't bring the highly anticipated video calling.
Like any other beta update, the current WhatsApp update 2.12.351 cannot be found on the app store, at least while the update is still in its beta form. In order to download the beta version, you may need to uninstall current versions of WhatsApp on your Nokia S60 devices. This will enable you to properly download and install the latest version on your device.
After you have successfully done that, open your browser and visit whatsapp.com/nokia and click on the "Download Now" button. Your Nokia S60 should immediately start the download process. After the download is complete, you will be prompted to open the file and click on it so it can be installed on your device.
WhatsApp, with its more than 1 billion users worldwide, has added a new feature on the chat app, allowing at least 256 users in one group chat. In a separate report by the NeuroGadget, it was mentioned that the recent version has allowed only 100 users to join a group chat. Prior to the Nokia S60 getting the latest update, iOS and Android had already received the update that features the new number of users in a group.
For iOS, WhatsApp update 2.12.13 initially brought the 256 users in a group chat while Android users were able to get it from WhatsApp update v2.12.437. Along with this latest development from the WhatsApp application is the announcement that WhatsApp has already ceased charging its users the $.99 annual subscription fee imposed after its one year free trial expires.
According to the WhatsApp blog, the new venture allows them to take the burden of paying from its users, but has also revealed that they are considering a B2B approach to giant customers such as banks, hotels and airlines to finance the development of the application. Instead of getting their revenues from ads, WhatsApp will collect fees from businesses that will use the app to reach their customers.
