WhatsApp for Windows Phone 8 arrives; Facebook updated



Over the weekend, updates for two popular apps hit the Windows Phone Store.

WhatsApp, a popular cross-platform messaging app, released an official version for Windows Phone 8—something I know many of you were waiting for. The app makes it easy to send messages, pictures, audio notes, and videos to friends or family members on other phones. WhatsApp is free for the first year and costs 99 cents annually after that. Download it.

The official Facebook app also received an update for Windows Phone 8. Version 4.1.0 fixes some bugs and improves stability and performance. If you don’t already have the free app, grab it here.
