This update to FM WhatsApp includes many key improvements in performance and user experience. The FM WhatsApp team says that, as reported in January 2024, an enhanced security feature brings overall app security up by about 30%. One significant change is that every media file has end-to-end encryption, so shared photos and videos are totally secure against access from the outside world. This will be a big move towards securing users’ data, especially after concerns about messaging apps privacy increased in 2023, with 40% of its users concerned about data breach leaks.
On the functionality aspect, FM WhatsApp’s new update introduces faster file upload speeds in its file-sharing feature by up to 20% for quicker transfer of larger files. These easily catch your eyes while sending high-definition media or even videos that are more extended. In fact, this update allows users to share files up to 2GB in size, compared to the previous limit of 1GB. According to TechRadar, file-sharing issues were among the top complaints that users had against FM WhatsApp before this update, and all those are directly addressed with the increased file size limit and faster transfer speeds.
The new update brings a number of new privacy features, affording users much greater control over who is able to see their status, and when they were last seen. The new “Privacy Mode” allows users to hide their online status from certain contacts-a feature many users have been requesting. In fact, 35% of FM WhatsApp users mentioned in a recent survey conducted by XDA Developers that they would like more granular privacy settings, so this update has been particularly well-received.
It also contains bug fixes and performance optimizations. The new FM WhatsApp Update is optimized now to be 25% more efficient than before: it crashes less often compared to previous releases. Quite decent memory management is performed. This is relevant for users with low-end phones since the previous versions used to lag a lot or even crash. According to statistics about this update on AppBrain, users mentioned that with the latest version, the number of crashes decreased by 15%.
Among others, the most important change included an inbuilt sticker store within the application. More than 200 new stickers, many of which are animated, would be accessible for the users now. This addition, basically has been done to make conversation a little more fun and expressive. FM WhatsApp development team, within a statement, revealed that more than 50% of the users wanted a better variety of stickers after which they expanded the sticker library.
The newly added FM WhatsApp will automatically pop up a reminder for self-updating when there is a new release available, 7 days in advance. This is based on statistics gathered by the FM WhatsApp support team, which shows that more than 60% of users never really update their apps on time, leading to lagged performance or malfunctioning with other apps.
