WhatsApp is an application that is getting more and more users. If in August 2014, the application had only 600 million monthly active users, in the meantime, around 200 million more people registered to WhatsApp. It seems that the recently introduced Voice Calling feature was one of the main reasons why so many users installed the WhatsApp application on their smartphones.
Soon after the Voice Calling feature was added to the application, there were a lot of users who complained about it. It seems that while using the Voice Calling feature on WhatsApp, a lot of users complained that the calls are either lagging or ending for no reason. At the same time, they’ve said that the feature is using a lot of data and it is not offering high quality calls.
When WhatsApp 2.12.32 BETA was released and was not yet available in the Google Play Store it came with Holo Design, which, for most of the users, it is a boring interface. However, when WhatsApp 2.12.84 was released, it came with a new look and the application was looking a bit more organized also. However, the application still had Gingerbread icons and this “issue” had to be fixed. The new WhatsApp 2.12.87 APK comes with new user interface and new icons. First of all, the Gingerbread icon that was hidden under the overflow has been removed. The red and green colors that were found in the old theme were changed with a darker green and pinkish shade.
At the same time, during a Voice Call, you will notice that the ID of your contact has a bigger font. At the same time, the new Material Design’s main screen comes with minimalistic icons.
