WhatsApp solves the update problem on iPhone
In the end it has only been four days of waiting that some users of have had to suffer iPhone to be able to use the application again WhatsApp After updating to version 2.8.1 A few days ago, many users saw their instant messaging social network stop working An incomprehensible failure that prevented them from accessing the application.Now four days later, the people of WhatsApp release a new update to fix that bug.
Thus, WhatsApp 2.8.2 has been published, with the solution of this bug and a couple of new features for group chats. In this way, users affected by the failure of the last update can download this new version to have access to their social network, presumably, without further failures. They can also update those who did not suffer the consequences of the error to have the new functions, as well as those who lost all their information when reinstalling the application after the failure
Specifically, version 2.8.2 doesn't bring anything really new, just the possibility of expand our group conversations to 20 membersA point in favor of having get together or get a message to a group of certain people , or something negative, since an active conversation between 20 people can be quite chaotic, turning our smartphone in a notifications, sounds and vibrations factory But there is still a new issue more related to groups.
So, in this version 2.8.2, users who create a group may have privileges over it. Specifically, the role of moderator, allowing them to eliminate the created group A measure that does not match be too useful since the creation of groups has no limitations, being able to create a new one after deleting another. Finally, like any update, there are improvements and minor bug fixes to make the application work better.As long as they don't mistakenly introduce a new bug like past update
And it is still not known how a faulty update could have affected indistinctly to some users and not to others. version 2.8.1 did not produce a clear pattern across devices, breaking WhatsApp on different iPhone models, with no apparent criteria. Something that WhatsApp, in its usual line, has decided not to comment on any of its official channelsJust one more failure in the history of this social network so widespread among users around the world.
In short, an update more than necessary that has made us wait four days.Now users of this communication tool created by two former Yahoo workers is once again fully operational for Apple phones Those who have previously purchased it can download it completely free from iTunesFor those who use it for the first time they must pay just under 1 euro to have the service of WhatsApp for one year.
