It is true that some functions of WhatsApp are only available in the beta program of the application, such as: the “multi-account support” to register and manage a second account in the same app, the new text formats called “Lists”, “Appointments” and “Code Blocks” that will accompany “Bold”, “Italics”, “Strikethrough” and “Monospace”, sending messages with HD quality, etc., but, other tools have already left the beta and were deployed to the stable version, why you don’t have them? It is something that in Depor we will explain below.
The latest options in the official version of WhatsApp are: audio states, fingerprint chat lock, the new user interface on iOS and Android, join or create channels, and others that arrived between January and August of this year. so It is not normal that your friends have them and you do not, especially if they are in the same region, because sometimes it takes a while to reach different parts of the world.
The cause of the problem is because there are incompatible versions of WhatsApp with certain cell phonesespecially the old ones or those that have been used for several years, remember that the minimum phone requirement to install the messaging application is to have Android 4.1 and iOS 12, however, that does not mean that all updates will be compatible, since a device mobile phone without fingerprint reader can’t unlock with fingerprint.
What is the solution when I don’t get the WhatsApp functions
- First, check that WhatsApp have no updates.
- In case there is no update on Google Play or App Store, update the operating system of your smartphone.
- Then, go back to the app stores and check again if your device is already compatible with a WhatsApp update.
- The last alternative is to buy a new device, suddenly the operating system has already reached its update limit.
- Note that this could also happen with other apps.
