We like to bring you all the latest news, both for the Windows mobile and desktop versions. This time, we're focusing on the mobile version, as Facebook and WhatsApp Beta for Windows 10 Mobile have been updated with some new features that we want to share with you so you're fully informed and can keep your Lumia device or any other Windows 10-compatible device up to date. These two applications are independent, but they received an update on the same day, perhaps because WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. We'll tell you what this latest WhatsApp and Facebook update includes.
The truth is, we can't expect too much from beta versions of an application; however, they are proliferating in the Windows 10 environment. Both had significant performance issues that made them almost unusable in some situations. On the other hand, we have the Facebook version , which is somewhat faster than the version provided by the Redmond team. Until now, clicking the Messenger icon would cause it to close unexpectedly; it seems they've fixed that, but that's about it. The application remains in beta and maintains the same user interface and performance as before—performance that isn't actually bad.
Finally, we have WhatsApp , the most popular instant messaging client on the planet. A recent feature launched on iOS and Android was the ability to quote messages; well, now we can do that on Windows 10 Mobile as well. At the same time, they've integrated the ability to see our contacts' status updates at a glance. However, applications are gradually being improved, but as we've already mentioned, don't expect too much from beta versions, especially while Windows 10 Mobile continues its downward spiral.
