Help developers test beta versions of their apps and App Clips using the TestFlight app. Download TestFlight on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Watch, and iMessage. Apple Vision Pro will already have TestFlight installed.
Each build is available to test for up to 90 days, starting from the day the developer uploads their build. You can see how many days you have left for testing under the app name in TestFlight. TestFlight will notify you each time a new build is available and will include instructions on what you need to test. Alternatively, with TestFlight 3 or later, you can turn on automatic updates to have the latest beta builds install automatically.
When the testing period is over, you'll no longer be able to open the beta build. To install the App Store version of the app, download or purchase the app from the App Store. In-app purchases are free only during beta testing, and any in-app purchases made during testing will not carry over to App Store versions.
Note: To automatically download additional in-app content and assets in the background once a beta app is installed in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or macOS 13, turn on Additional In-App Content in your App Store settings for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
You can send feedback through the TestFlight app or directly from the beta app or beta App Clip by taking a screenshot, and you can report a crash after it occurs. If you were invited to test an app with a public link, you can choose not to provide your email address or other personal information to the developer. Apple will also receive all feedback you submit and will be able to tie it to your Apple ID.
If your device is running iOS 12.4 or earlier, tap Send Beta Feedback to compose an email to the developer. The feedback email contains detailed information about the beta app and about your iOS device. You can also provide additional information, such as necessary screenshots and steps required to reproduce any issues. Your email address will be visible to the developer when you send email feedback through the TestFlight app even if you were invited through a public link.
When you take a screenshot while testing a beta app or beta App Clip, you can send the screenshot with feedback directly to the developer without leaving the app or App Clip Experience. Developers can opt out of receiving this type of feedback, so this option is only available if the developer has it enabled.
When you test beta apps or beta App Clips with TestFlight, Apple will collect and send crash logs, your personal information such as name and email address, usage information, and any feedback you submit to the developer. Information that is emailed to the developer directly is not shared with Apple. The developer is permitted to use this information only to improve their App and is not permitted to share it with a third party. Apple may use this information to improve the TestFlight app and detect and prevent fraud.
When you send feedback through TestFlight or send crash reports or screenshots from the beta app, the following additional information is shared. This information is collected by Apple and shared with developers. Apple retains the data for one year.
We introduced View Once for photos and videos back in 2021 to add another layer of privacy to your messages. Today, we're excited to announce you can now send a voice message that will disappear once listened to.
The latest WhatsApp beta now shows as a profile picture the initials for group participants that don't have a profile picture. This new feature looks to improve aesthetics matching the color of the profile circle with the contact name and provide a little extra information about those fellow group members without profile pictures.
Protecting the privacy of your messages remains the driving force behind what we're building at WhatsApp. While End-to-end encryption is the foundation to ensure your calls and messages are secure, we continue to add more layers of privacy on top including the recently launched Chat Lock to protect sensitive chats behind a password, Disappearing Messages that vanish, screenshot blocking for View Once, and the ability to keep your online presence private.
Similar to how we build messaging, we don't believe Channel updates should have to stick around forever. So we'll only store channel history on our servers for up to 30 days and we'll add ways to make updates disappear even faster from follower's devices. Admins will also have the option to block screenshots and forwards from their channel.
Status is a popular way to share ephemeral updates with friends and close contacts on WhatsApp. They disappear in 24 hours and may include photos, videos, GIFs, text, and more. Just like your personal chats and calls, your WhatsApp status is protected by end-to-end encryption so you can share privately and securely.
You can send messages that disappear on WhatsApp by enabling disappearing messages. You can choose to have messages disappear after 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. Once enabled, new messages sent in the chat will disappear after the duration you select. The most recent selection controls new messages in the chat. Messages sent or received before disappearing messages is enabled won't be affected.
Deciding how long a message lasts should be in your hands. We've become accustomed to leaving a digital copy of just about everything we type without even thinking about it. It's become the equivalent of a note taker following us around making a permanent record of everything we've said. This is why we introduced disappearing messages last year, and more recently a way for photos and videos to immediately disappear after being viewed once.
WhatsApp users will now have the option to turn on disappearing messages by default for all new chats. When enabled, all new one-on-one chats you or another person start will be set to disappear at your chosen duration, and we've added a new option when creating a group chat that lets you turn it on for groups you create. This new feature is optional and does not change or delete any of your existing chats.
For people who choose to switch on default disappearing messages, we will display a message in your chats that tells people this is the default you've chosen. This makes clear it's nothing personal - it's a choice you've made about how you want to communicate with everyone on WhatsApp moving forward. Though of course, if you need a particular conversation to remain permanent, it's easy to switch a chat back.
Living apart from family and friends for over a year has made it clearer than ever that just because we can't physically talk in person, it doesn't mean we should have to sacrifice the privacy of our personal conversations. We believe disappearing messages along with end-to-end encryption are two crucial features that define what it means to be a private messaging service today, and bring us one step closer to the feeling of an in-personal conversation.
Greetings everybody, I am currently trying to integrate WhatsApp Business into Hubspot. I was wondering wether I am still able to access the main features of WhatsApp Business (creating catalogue, quick reply) after integrating WhatsApp into Hubspot. I am using the Beta Version of Hubspots WhatsApp integration (no external App) ( -whatsapp-to-the-conversations-inbox ) . Would be very grateful for any advice.
Hi Pam, I was wondering if you know a BSP that only provides the whatsapp number and the activation code to be able to add the number to my WhatsApp Business Account and then be able to use the Beta integration with Hubspot.
I strongly depend on Whatsapp for business purposes, and I am finding it hard to believe that a company would launch a product which is clearly worse, when people have been complaining about it in this subreddit for months.
One of the main differences between WhatsApp and WhatsApp Beta is the features that are available. WhatsApp Beta is a testing program that allows users to access new and upcoming features before they are released to the general public. These features may be incomplete or buggy and may not work as expected. However, by testing these features, beta testers can provide valuable feedback to the developers, which can help improve the app and its features.
If we look at the public version of WhatsApp, it contains features that have been fully tested and released to the general public. These features are generally more stable and reliable than the beta features but may not be as new or innovative.
Another key difference between WhatsApp and WhatsApp Beta is the frequency of updates. WhatsApp Beta is updated more frequently than the public version of WhatsApp. This is because beta testers are testing new and upcoming features that are still in development. As a result, they may receive updates several times a week, or even daily.
The public version of WhatsApp, on the other hand, is updated less frequently. Updates are generally released every few weeks or months, and contain a combination of bug fixes and new features. These updates are more stable and reliable than the beta updates, but may not contain the latest and greatest features.
Stability is another important difference between WhatsApp and WhatsApp Beta. The public version of WhatsApp is generally more stable and reliable than the beta version. This is because the public version has been tested by millions of users, and any issues or bugs have been fixed before the release.
In contrast, the beta version of WhatsApp may be unstable and contain bugs or other issues that can cause problems for users. Beta testers should be aware of this when using the beta version of the app, and should be prepared for issues and bugs.
Compatibility is another difference between WhatsApp and WhatsApp Beta. The beta version of WhatsApp may not be compatible with all devices. Some beta features may only be available on certain types of devices, or may not work properly on older or less powerful devices.
