Whatsapp changes, evolves, modernizes. Users of the most widespread instant messaging application, owned by Facebook, are going to experience a radical change in the next few hours. In its latest update, Whastapp promises (at least in the two main application stores) improvements in group calls (you will be able to join without prior notice and without being from the beginning of the call), new conversation bubbles, colors and backgrounds for refresh the appearance of chats and previews. In addition, you will be able to silence videos and preview them before sharing them.
And it is that these changes go in a double direction: to give a new impetus to the application so that it can be better customized and reach new audiences who are bored with it and who are already trying new ones and fight against the news frauds that are shared through this network owned by Facebook, highly criticized around the world for contributing to misinformation.
But there is more news. And they are not good. WhatsApp stopped working on a number of devices today Monday November 1. Specifically, following the network update policy promoted by Facebook, the phones that use an Android operating system in the version 4.0.4 or earlier those who will be affected by this movement.
