WhatsApp picks up an update on Windows 10 Mobile

WhatsApp has been updated for both Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile. The listing itself has been pushed up to version 2.16.2, leading us to suspect this is a minor bump in releases. The popular messaging client continues to enjoy a steady stream of releases, further enhancing the user experience.

Unfortunately, there's no changelog to refer to though we can see this as a small update to fix any bugs introduced in a recent version pushed to the store.

Update: OyeAdi did ping us with the following list of potential improvements:

  • View how much data was consumed in the most recent WhatsApp call
  • You can forward and share to the broadcast list
  • Larger videos can now be shared and they resize accordingly
  • Font optimization
  • Improved audio file sharing (OneDrive, internal + external storage)
  • Emoji have been revamped (larger, cleaner)

Noticed anything new that we've overlooked? Sound off in the comments!
