WhatsApp, the most popular cross-platform messaging service received an update on the Apple event day. And you know what?? It’s kinda major update after the version 2.11.5. And probably the voice call feature will be announced later this year.

The new WhatsApp version 2.11.9 now got some major tweaks to capture and send photos with a fast camera access button in the interface. And the most awaited features like archive chats and groups, add captions to media and what’s more a minor tweak on the UI.
