How to participate in the WhatsApp beta program
If you've gotten this far and don't know what we mean when we talk about a 'beta' version, don't worry, we'll explain it to you. The beta version of WhatsApp is a version of the app 'in tests' That is, it works the same as the stable version but receives improvements and updates before it. Therefore, the user who has the beta version of the app will enjoy news before the users who have the 'normal' and stable version. For example, this new redesign of the settings section.
To participate in the WhatsApp beta program you only have to enter this web page. You must then click on 'Become a tester'. Once you have done so, you will have to wait for an application update to appear in the application store. When you update it, you will already be part of the beta program. There are several things that you have to take into account when belonging to the WhatsApp beta program. First, you will have applications almost every day, since it is an experimental and test version. Second, you may have some kind of error since you are working with an application version that is not the final one.
It may also be the case that the page advises you to uninstall the application and search for 'WhatsApp' in the Play Store again. Be that as it may, by the time you are a betatester you will already be able to enjoy all the new features of the app. To exit, you just have to re-enter the page and click on ‘Exit the program‘.You will have to do the same as before, wait for the update or uninstall and reinstall later.
