After the introduction on the WhatsApp call feature and it's availability for all android users, WhatsApp thinks it's time to give a matured look and feel to it's Android app.
And now, the update is here and it allows you to have access to more features in addition to the WhatsApp call already established.
Contacts DP which is aligned to the left of the list is now enclosed in a circle and you can view your friend's profile pictures directly from there.
You can also disable WhatsApp receipts (the blue double ticks that shows when a message is seen and read) in the privacy settings.
Plus! There's an option to turn on popups for notifications and you can directly send an instant reply without having to launch the main app. Here's a preview:
For those using modded version of the app especially the WhatsApp Reborn users, I think it's high time you settled back for the official update as WhatsApp is already showing concern about you and is working towards making the app the one you always wanted. Perhaps, what's there in taking the risks of a ban?
Hope you will enjoy the update, Happy Chatting!
