Before you hastily uninstall the version on your phone and install the one from the apk, be warned that you should always back your chats up. This also shows that the feature is not available to everyone right now and WhatsApp could just well change its mind and withdraw it at any time. This new privacy feature is not available on the Play Store version of WhatsApp yet, but you will need to download and install the app all over again from the website using an apk file. The update may have been pre-planned and Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp might just be another co-incidence. Of course the WhatsApp-Facebook deal has nothing to do with this update. This was a service that was previously exclusive to iPhone users. Here’s the link to the Google Play Store page hosting WhatsApp.Facebook acquired WhatsApp for a whopping $19 Billion and it follows after the deal, WhatsApp has a new update for Android users allowing one to officially hide your last seen time-stamp, your WhatsApp status and your WhatsApp profile picture within your app without having to install an additional app or constantly turn on and off your WiFi or data network. Samsung Note 3 and Sony phone owners will see that the issue with the voice note recording volume has been fixed now. Large video thumbnails in chat and a camera shortcut for faster picture sending have crept in too.

For those in India, Hindi has been enabled as long as the app is being used on a smartphone running Android KitKat 4.1 or higher. While the service itself is free to download, it costs $0.99 per year after a 12-month period. You can now pay for a friend’s WhatsApp subscription. This information, along with your profile picture and status, can be kept out of view from everyone, no one or people not in your contacts list. That’s all thanks to the update for Android (iOS already had it, by the way) which lets you hide the ‘last seen’ timestamp.Īnd because you just must play fair, removing your timestamp will mean you won’t be able to catch others lying, or telling the truth, about the last time they used the messenger either. You can pretend to have missed your co-worker’s or friend’s ‘urgent message’ because you were sleeping and ‘definitely didn’t check’ WhatsApp at the time they sent it.
