Frequently asked questions
What exactly does WAUpdater do?
It checks the WhatsApp version you have installed, compares it with the latest available and alerts you when there's an update. When there is one, it takes you to update it from the official source.
Does WAUpdater update WhatsApp for me?
It doesn't install WhatsApp on its own. It detects that a new version is out and takes you to the official source (Google Play) so you can update it yourself in one tap; the install always happens through the official channel.
Is it related to WhatsApp or Meta?
No. WAUpdater is an independent tool by Tysora and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by WhatsApp LLC or Meta. “WhatsApp” is a trademark of its owners and is mentioned only to describe compatibility.
Does it need root or unusual permissions?
No. It works without root. It only asks for notification permission to alert you about updates; it doesn't access your chats, contacts, camera or location.
Is it free?
Yes, it's free. To keep it that way it shows some ads. In the European Union we ask for consent and you can opt for non-personalized ads.
I'm not getting update notifications
Check that you've granted WAUpdater the notification permission in Android settings and that it isn't under restricted battery saving. With that, it'll alert you as soon as a new version is out.
