WhatsApp picks up another enhancing update today

If you're a big fan of WhatsApp, you'll want to head into the Windows Phone Store to go grab version 2.11.500, which just went live a few minutes ago. Like the previous update, this one does not deliver any new features exactly, but rather gains "various enhancements and bug fixes". In other words, this is some cleanup after the big update a few weeks ago.

Indeed, we've heard a few of you complain about image attachments being of lower resolution and some other oddities, so hopefully this latest patch addresses those.

Let us know in comments if 500 fixed your problems, so others can benefit it as well. Grab WhatsApp 2.11.500 here from the Store.

Update: Since we first published, the version number has changed from .500 to .504. We're not sure how that happened so fast, but the changelog is the same. Currently, the beta is at .502, so the public and beta seem to be leapfrogging each other

Thanks, Félix C., for the tip!
