At first glance, the minor bump in Android version might indicate that this is a small release but that is not the case....

Matt Idema, chief operating officer of the application, told the Wall Street Journal that they have no plans to charge early: “We have no details about monetization....

A WhatsApp user from India has posted some screenshots of the new UI on Reddit and explained how the whole procedure works. Reddit user pradnesh07 states that he got the voice calling feature after he was invited to a call from one of his friend.

This is due to a number of factors, including the raised profile of data privacy in general thanks to a number of high-profile incidents. The Snowden revelations about state surveillance in 2013 started the ball rolling, and the never-ending data breaches that seem to be, at least, a weekly occurrence have continued it. Where once there was data security, now there is the added goal of ensuring the privacy of these data....

This means that every week or so, she has to download a whole bunch of bank, credit card, and vendor statements.
