Whatsapp
updates are so few and far between that we should probably open a
bottle of wine every time we get them. The Facebook-owned instant
messenger just got another update, and if you have an iPhone, you're in
for a treat.
Whatsapp
on iOS now has the ability to share the slo-mo videos that you can
shoot from the iPhone 5S. You can also trim clips down right in the app,
which is handy. There's also support to add Snapchat-like captions to
pictures and archive chats and groups. And oh, this is the first version
of Whatsapp that actually works on the iOS 8 beta without crashing
every 10 seconds.
Now bring on that voice calling already!
Here's the complete change log:
- Added ability to archive chats and groups- Add captions to photos and videos- Added fast camera access button for capturing and sending photos- You can now share slow-motion videos (iPhone 5s only)- You can now trim videos before sharing them- Share Location: add support for satellite and hybrid map views when sharing a location- Share Location: drop and drag pin lets you share a precise location- New media auto-download preferences: Settings > Chat Settings > Media Auto-Download- New Wallpapers: Settings > Chat Settings > Chat Wallpapers > Wallpaper Library- New Notification tones: Settings > Notifications- You can now attach screenshots when reporting problems
