GB WhatsApp APK (v24.2.10) in 2025 added the “Quantum Transfer 2.0” feature. The threshold of a single file transfer was increased to 3GB (up from the initial 100MB), and a new fragmentation compression algorithm was added (the compression ratio was increased to 68%). It was timed that a 1.5GB video transfer took just 6.7 seconds in a Wi-Fi 6E network (52% quicker than the 2024 version). The package size has been increased to 102MB (the old version was 55MB), and the cold start time has been extended to 4.2 seconds (Pixel 8 Pro test data), but the newly added AI theme engine supports real-time rendering of 8,000 dynamic templates (19% less memory consumption). Egyptian e-commerce merchants have attempted that the efficiency of making product posters has been boosted to 5.3 per minute (1.2 per minute with the original procedure).
Privacy module has been enhanced to StealthX Pro. While protecting 228 dynamic proxy nodes (IP rotation frequency of 4.1 per second), the erasance rate for metadata has been increased to 99.2%, and the GPS positioning accuracy has been blurred to ±150 meters (previously ±3 meters). But a review of the EU Digital Services Act 2025 revealed that this functionality led to data storage violations, and the Hamburg Court in Germany imposed a sole fine of up to 8.6 million euros on the developer. Security tests show that the post-quantum encryption protocol (Crystallizer-Kyber) in the new build has raised the median message delay to 0.47 seconds (0.09 seconds in the original Signal protocol), and Brazilian users complained that 14% of voice calls have a 0.8-second-long audio break.
The business platform integrated the NFT digital commodity trading function (3.5% transaction fee), and dynamic bidding advertising machine (eCPM was 8.3 US dollars), which drove the revenue for each month over 32 million US dollars. But Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Center determined that 32% of VIP subscribers (at a cost of $6.99 per month) were hit with wallet private key theft attacks, and the average single loss rose to $47. Market figures show 1.2 million downloads over one week were made in Indonesia (63% of which UPI payment channels), but Mediatek Dimensity 9500 device crashing rate has also risen to 17.3% (having a 127MB/hour memory leak).
At the legal adaptation level, a “compliance fuse” has also been added that can clear out 98.6% sensitive operation logs in 0.15 seconds. However, the Italian privacy authority was still able to retrieve 890,000 encrypted medical diagnosis reports from the cache server. The community tool has been updated to v6.0, and it now allows real-time collaborative document editing by 30,000 users (the original limit was 256 users). Indian schools by 2025 will have prepared 83% of their readiness for online courses using this feature, but it has caused the ratio of spam messages to skyrocket to 37%. Technical specifications show that the 8K video call feature enables the maximum temperature of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chip to increase to 51℃ (the official video call temperature is 43℃). Despite the dangers, Sensor Tower statistics show its daily active users remain at 103 million with a mean daily message of 72 (original 48), confirming the struggle between functional innovation and regulatory pressure to continue.
