NEW YORK: WhatsApp new version 2.12.16 BETA can’t be found in the Google Play Store. However, it can be installed on your smartphone, but it’s not as simple as it is when installing an application from the official store.
The new WhatsApp 2.12.16 file size is increased with 300 KB and it seems that 290 files have been modified and 13 new files have been added. This is quite a significant change and developers are going to tell you more about the things that this new version comes with.
It seems that the developers have been working hard on the voice calling feature as two of the new files are named call unavailable and common full open Phone. Other new files are related to Google Drive, preferences, activity, etc. and more files are related to the voice calls feature.
Installing WhatsApp 2.12.16 BETA on your Android device
The latest WhatsApp 2.12.16 APK file can be downloaded from the internet. If you don’t know where you can get it from, just open the browser you’re using on your smartphone and search on Google for WhatsApp 2.12.16 APK. Once you find the file, download it on your smartphone.
In order to download an “unofficial” APK file on your smartphone you will need to enable the Unknown Sources option. If this option is not enabled, you will not be able to install any APK file that’s not downloading from the Google Play Store.
