If you’re looking to join the WhatsApp beta, we’ve got the requisite steps below. The WhatsApp beta test programme for Android is an opt-in scenario, as it rightly should be. Giving access to upcoming features allows companies – including WhatsApp – to iron out the kinks, without affecting the experience of a billion users worldwide.
This could be anything from displaying a friend’s current location, live, or the ability to edit messages after you’ve sent them - all these have shown up in beta versions of WhatsApp long before rolling out to a bigger audience.
Like other apps, WhatsApp relies on beta testers to try out new features before they are rolled out to everyone in a public update.
