Whatsapp has finally returned to Windows Phone stores after weeks of unavailability from the same. Whatsapp which caused tremendous battery drainage on most or all Windows Phones was pulled by the developers a few weeks back. Several reasons were claimed for this action, but no one provided a reliable reason. Either way, it was the user who missed the absence of the app on the store.
After a long break, it is now back with a couple of new features. Whatsapp on Windows Phone still doesn’t match the functionality of Whatsapp on other platforms, but its slowly getting there. The new features include:
Chat backgrounds
Broadcast lists
Privacy settings (settings > account > privacy)
Media auto-download settings (settings > chat settings > media autodownload)
Custom notification tones (Windows Phone 8 Update 3 required)
Various enhancements and bug fixes
