WhatsApp Messenger is the go-to instant messaging app for those looking to communicate for free cross-platform. With an app for Symbian, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and iOS, it covers most of the market, and the version for those using an iPhone has just been updated. While there are no significant new features or noteworthy alterations, version 2.8.6 does bring some welcome performance enhancements for those running on the new iOS 6 software and / or the iPhone 5.

FEATURES:
