WhatsApp, the largest messaging service provider in the world, has released its latest version of the app with major bug fixes and issues. After WhatsApp launched its voice calling feature in April, the company received a lot of feedback from users that the app consumes an increased amount of data, weak voice calls, call interruptions, and many more.
The latest 2.12.244 version of the WhatsApp app is released for Android users with major bug fixation and improved voice quality and consumes low data on voice calls.
