How to keep WhatsApp up to date on your mobile

WhatsApp has an engineering department dedicated to constantly improving the application and adding new features. They are constantly releasing updates to improve the user experience, security and fix bugs from previous versions.

When an application is downloaded from the official Play Store, updates are automatically downloaded when a Wi-Fi connection is detected. This is the default option in the store, but you can change it to manually check for updates.
