The instant messaging platform continues to add new features constantly. iOS users received an update yesterday, and today, with their usual slow but steady pace, they've also added new features to their Windows Phone app. Rich links have finally arrived on Windows Phone , albeit after a considerable delay, but better late than never. The new version of WhatsApp doesn't seem to bring any other new features, although the app's performance has been slightly improved. It remains important that WhatsApp steps up its game in developing its Windows Phone app.
Microsoft's mobile platform always seems to be the last to receive all the latest WhatsApp features. Certainly, the sheer number of users doesn't encourage anything else, but WhatsApp is a company that should keep all its users equally happy. Now, WhatsApp users will be able to view and embed rich links. This means we'll have a small preview of the content of the link we're about to share or have received. This is a good initiative to know firsthand whether or not we're interested in downloading or accessing the shared content.
This feature has been available for months on both Android and iOS, but better late than never. WhatsApp for Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile has finally reached version 2.16.64 . This is the only new feature included in the update notes; however, they have slightly improved the app's performance. With no apparent new features, Windows 10 Mobile users are still waiting for many functionalities in their favorite messaging client, and WhatsApp remains unmoved. We'll always keep you updated on any new developments here at Windows News, so you can stay informed.
