WhatsApp fixes a problem with emoticons on Android
The people of WhatsApp post an urgent update for some Android users No need to be alarmed, they are not security problems It seems that users Sony Ericsson and Alcatel have been having problems critics with the new selection of Emoji icons Therefore, they have been forced to release this new update to solve these problems, without any other news for the rest of the terminals, at least not known (WhatsApp does not usually offer information in these cases).With this, the version of WhatsApp for Android is raised to number 2.8.5732
Last week the people of WhatsApp surprised users of Android devices and BlackBerry with an update. And we say surprised because it was not announced that these platforms received a redesign of their sharing icons and the expansion of its gallery of Emoji emoticons Thus, not only the functions of sharing images, sounds, location etc, but the possibilities and limits of creativity are greatly expanded with a good amount of nice icons, smileys and signs
Something that, on the other hand, is not really new or original. The users of WhatsApp for iPhone, who already had this , know it very well. generous selection of smileys for a very long time.Now that it's available on almost all platforms, and the forces have been balanced, incompatibilities are avoided in sending these cute faces and icons With this, Android users will no longer receive rectangles instead of emoticons, which allows a better conversation, without misunderstandings, and with creativity as the only limit to be able to communicate exclusively with these icons. And it is that the amount that can now be used is overwhelming
For now WhatsApp seems somewhat stagnant with the news. The effort they are devoting to comparing the versions of WhatsApp on the different platforms is remarkable, being Windows Phone 7 which is still one step further behind, but receiving more important improvements with each update.However, it seems that we have had a good season without anything really new in this social network Even more so when every day other communication tools appear with more features and more secure, such as ChatOn, Viber , her own Facebook ”¦
Without a doubt the market for applications is increasingly more competitive , even the mobile operators decided to attack to get their piece of the pie, see Joyn that argued its possibilities and security as a counterpoint to WhatsApp, or TUme, fromTelefónica, which claims to be a communication platform for something bigger However, none of them has achieved WhatsApp fame, nor its word-of-mouth transmission. But it shouldn't be trusted either. Currently, the people of WhatsApp are looking at other horizons, partnering with the operators themselves to create specific data plans or rates for use in Asia and IndiaWe will have to see how these agreements evolve.
For now, users of terminals Sony Ericsson and Alcatel who had problems using the selection of Emoji-style emoticons You can now update your WhatsApp application to solve these errors. This is version 2.8.5732 and can be downloaded free, at least for a year, from Google Play
