The latest update to WhatsApp (2.12.506) could leave you without data in a matter of hours if you're not careful. The application has undergone major changes with the new version, especially with regard to the aesthetic section, with numerous visual improvements. One of them, is the appearance of the data usage from the settings,something that until now we could not find in this section.This new addition allows us to carry out various configurations, but it could also end our data rate in a short time if we do not deactivate some of its options, which would download very heavy content if we are using a mobile connection.
In this way, if you update to WhatsApp 2.12.506 the first thing we recommend is that you go into data usage settings and that you make sure that you only give permissions to the connection WiFi When you enter this section you will see that a list appears with the following options:Images, Audio, Videos and Documents. In any of them you can decide if you want to download using a connection WiFi, the mobile data or both. Normally, WiFi and mobile data for Images (which we advise you to leave as is) and only WiFi are presetfor the rest of the options. In the event that any of them also shows the possibility of downloading through mobile data, it is best to modify it immediately if you do not want to have problems with your rate.
Those users who have a limited data rate, whose excess data is not charged when they are spent, would not have too much of a problem, only that that month they would not be able to use 3G again. The real headache would come for those who are charged for excess mobile data. Therefore, it is important to be very aware of this detail if the update of WhatsApp You already know that you can check it from Settings , Information and help.
As we say the new version of WhatsApp is tremendously visual. There have also been changes to the profile photo, which is now displayed at the beginning of the settings menu inside a circle.If you look at you will now see the photo assigned to you in a circle,as it appears in the contact list. The communication service thus says goodbye to the square appearance, which did not allow the selected image to fit so well.
This update would have also solved the problem with the internal memory in phones governed by iOS Version 2.12.15 for devices from Apple puts an end once and for all to no gigabytes, which mysteriously disappeared when installing WhatsApp 2.12.14, causing many users to literally run out of physical space on their terminal. Finally, mention the possibility of sharing documents in PDF format with our contacts at WhatsApp, a feature currently limited to Android phone users
