Better experience when sharing links
Previously, iOS users had no indication of the preview loading status, which resulted in unnecessary waiting time. But now, with the new update, a loading indicator appears, which lets users know when a link preview is ready to be viewed.
This means that Apple mobile customers can now enjoy a better experience when sharing links, thanks to a new upload indicator. Moreover, the update also adds polls where users can choose to narrow it down to a single option. This can be useful in situations where you want a quick and simple response.
How to update WhatsApp on iOS
To update the app, simply open the App Store on your iOS device and tap on the profile icon located in the upper right corner of the screen. Next, you have to scroll down until you find the “Pending Updates” section. If an update is available for WhatsApp, it should appear there. Next, you will see an “Update” button next to the app’s name. Just click on it to download and install the latest version.
Keep your app updated
It is important that you keep WhatsApp updated, not only to ensure that you have the latest features, but also to protect your security. Therefore, even if an update is not available, it is recommended that you regularly check the App Store for updates to keep your app up to date. With these updates, WhatsApp continues to improve user experience and ensure the security of your information.
