WhatsApp, owned by Meta, has introduced a new feature that allows users to manage their WhatsApp updates within the app settings. This feature, currently available to some beta testers, gives users the option to choose automatic updates over Wi-Fi or receive notifications when a new version is ready for download.
Unlike other operating systems, this option is only available to devices that have the Meta App Manager installed. Users on different operating systems or devices without this app may not have access to the update management feature. Manually installing the Meta App Manager on devices without prior installation will not enable this specific function.
Previously, users already had the option to choose automatic app updates through the Google Play Store. However, some beta testers on OxygenOS and users of other device models had control over receiving update notifications.
This new WhatsApp feature aims to address the frustrating issue some users encounter during forced app updates. By providing greater control over updates, users can choose automatic app updates or receive notifications before updating.
It is important to note that this update management feature is currently only available in the WhatsApp beta version 2.24.2.13 on the Google Play Store. Users who are not beta testers may need to wait for the feature to be officially released to the public.
