WhatsApp is now available in Urdu on Android, said Brian Acton, Co-Founder of WhatsApp in a statement.
The update, which was released late in August, requires users to change the language setting on their smartphone to Urdu before they can start using the app in Urdu.
Whatsapp Urdu translation administrator Ahsan Saeed said, “I translated 753 strings and moderated 2,089 strings in less than three months and made Urdu 18th language in which WhatsApp for Android has been fully translated.”
In addition to Urdu, the latest version also adds support for Bengali. The update, which was released late in August, also has a key security upgrade which prevents hackers from taking over your device by exploiting a flaw in the web version of WhatsApp whereby they could hide a malicious code in seemingly innocent “vCards” containing contact information.
