WhatsApp has millions of downloads on mobile devices Android and iOS from Apple, so it is important to keep the app updated at all times. In that sense, we will show you how to make this process automatic and save a lot of time.
It is remembered that the messaging network owned by Facebook experienced a worldwide outage for 6 hours last September, so WhatsApp now joins the race again and its updates are more frequent than before.
Steps to keep WhatsApp updated
WhatsApp, like Facebook and Instagram, is periodically adding new features, so all these apps are updated, especially WhatsApp, as it announced its 'blackout' on several devices globally for this November 1st.
From Android devices, millions of users could configure the 'automatic download' option so that WhatsApp always stays with its latest version. In case you want to do the procedure manually, you can do the following:
- Open Play Store and in the search bar, type 'My apps & games' or directly 'WhatsApp', and open it. Once opened, choose 'Update'.
- In the menu, just next to the search bar, select 'Manage apps & devices' and, there, pending updates, where WhatsApp should appear.
For this, remember to always have free storage capacity on your cell phone, otherwise the automatic or manual download of WhatsApp will not start.
How to update WhatsApp on iOS?
In the case of iPhone devices, updating WhatsApp can be more complex. It is necessary to have iOS 10 or a higher version since last March. "To use WhatsApp on an iPhone, you need iOS 10 or a later version," WhatsApp informed some time ago.
Therefore, users with iOS 9 can no longer install WhatsApp, although those who already had the 'app' installed can still use it, however, they will end up losing functionality and eventually stop working. The steps to update here are as follows:
- Open the App Store and then go to 'Updates' in the upper right corner. Then, search for the WhatsApp application in the list and choose to update it.
