WhatsApp for Nokia Asha has received a new version, however, this version is still in beta and as such, it is still not stable.
Nevertheless, it is always fun to get a taste of what is being developed for the future and installing a jad file of this application on your Nokia Asha phone is the only way to test the newly introduced features.
WhatsApp developers have been very busy and this has not just been happening on the Android, Windows Phone and iOS fronts; it seems the same is happening with the Nokia and Symbian platforms as well. This is a huge boost for those who are still using this version of phones. Just recently, the developers rolled out a WhatsApp 2.12.85 beta, which came in with some new features and improvements to the previous versions. A new version has already been released and this is WhatsApp 2.12.86, which is again still in beta.
The most probable reason for this quick release of beta files of WhatsApp is that the developers might have discovered a bug or error in the previous version, something that required quick attention. What this means is that there are very few chances that the new WhatsApp 2.12.86 beta comes in with a bunch of new features, rather, expect more improvements and bug fixes, which will only fix the performance of the app. This doesn’t mean that Nokia Asha users won’t be getting anything new in the near future; in fact, this is thought to be where the developers are headed next after rolling out WhatsApp voice calling for Windows Phone.
