This is version 2.12.498, an upgrade without major apparent changes, with some translations and the new button to exit a group that already announced yesterday. In addition, some users receive the message: Messages you send to this group are end-to-end encrypted. To verify, tap each participant’s name and choose “Verify security code”.

Internally this new update of WhatsApp for Android does not bring many changes, is that despite its installation file APK has increased 111 KB, without adding any new files and deleting 1 file thumbnails, have been modified 42 files, among which we still see the “settings_security.xml” file, which makes us think that soon we will see more news regarding the safety of the application.
