Once you do this, clicking on the phone numbers you see online or using the correspondence option in your contacts, WhatsApp will open instantly instead of the integrated Apple applications. But there are still slight restrictions on their position – the calls should still be accessed via the original Apple phone application. So while it is a great start, it is not a complete alternative yet.

Even with this little inconvenience, WhatsApp users are certainly getting more comfortable. Writing phone numbers quickly allows you to directly on the WhatsApp tab, make international calls and chat with contacts that are mainly used WhatsApp more smooth and faster.

The Apple step to provide more control of virtual applications is certain, but one piece is still missing – at least for me personally: there is still any way to choose your favorite maps app. If you click on the address inside a message or a web page, Apple will remain carefully Apple Maps. Looking at Apple’s exact approach to open its ecological system, users are likely to need to wait for a period of time before this specified feature arrives.

Although this last update does not completely empty users from using compact Apple applications, it is a big step forward. WhatsApp fans will definitely appreciate their favorite application to become a more integrated part of the iPhone experience. We hope that Apple will continue to move in this easy -to -use trend, making the iPhone feel more specialized and flexible.
