WhatsApp Beta updated for 6 & 6 Plus Screen Sizes

Tried using the new AppStore version. Couldn't recover my backup. Went back to the latest beta. Thank God that didn't crash. On 8.1.

If only someone with some dev experience could make a simple utility to convert the latest databases to a version that is compatible with AppStore version, if it can be done.

This is the last time I use a beta sigh
 
For everyone's information: I will not be updating the Pgyer build anymore. Now it is released on the App Store it's no longer necessary for me to do so, as the sole purpose of me updating it there was for the screen size changes and not for people to use the beta for other purposes. Also as I live in the UK, these builds seem to come at 1-4am and I struggle with sleep as it is and when I get a notification to say it's been updated, it can kind of kill some valuable sleep and people are often inpatient at me not releasing the builds instantly so I kind of don't want the hassle. Sorry everyone. - Browno.

It's all good, man. Thanks for all those builds!
 
lets take a moment...ITS FINALLY UPDATED!! i woke up and checked the appstore and i was like "i must be dreaming" and then for some reason facebook updated as wel lol
 
Eh, the update is welcome, but doesn't really add much. Just support for iPhone 6 and 6+ resolutions. Where's my actionable notifications and improved share sheet support?
 
So what are we jail broken users on the latest Beta gonna do? Wait until there's an official version newer than our Beta to upgrade?

That depends on your reason for using the beta in the first place.

Most people installed the beta to get away from the poor user interface on iPhone 6/6 plus handsets.

Now that WhatsApp have released v2.11.14 supporting the new screen resolutions, there's probably little reason to keep using the beta unless you want to play with the future VoIP feature.

Personally I won't be signing and installing any new betas unless there's a pressing need to do so.

Problematic notifications and lack of iCloud backup support was quite painful.

Jailbreaking isn't an option for me as it breaks some apps.

Well I'm stuck on it because my chats won't restore to the official. They back up fine but won't restore from 2.11.15.1 to 2.11.14

Well in
• September they release .12 to work on iOS 8 to stop it crashing
• November they released .14 to work with iPhone 6 and + screen resolution but what I have seen there isn’t much change
• They are testing .15 at the moment and they were talk of calling facility to be built in with WhatsApp, on the .15 there is a telephone icon next to the profile photo of the person. I can’t see this on the .14

so if I not mistaken there will be other update sometime soon unless apple decide not to or reject it
 
Wahoo finally an update.

Though the Android version is still far superior I'll take what I can get.

What I want to know is whether missing iOS integration is an issue with WhatsApp devs, Facebook wanting to push other platforms, or simply Apple being dicks about what 3rd party apps can do.
 
Finally, almost can’t believe it.
But you still can’t send Photos straight from the Photos app via Whats App, this company is seriously from the 80ties..
 
But how to fix the crash of the latest Beta 2.11.15.1 ? Don't want to have the AppStore Version.

I don't have updatet my iPhone to 8.1.1. Still have 8.1
 
Alright well I guess I will keep 2.11.15.1 and wait until a newer version pops up in the App Store to be able to upgrade and unjailbreak my device.
