The beta version of WhatsApp on Android has received several new updates. The new beta 2.17.375 version of the WhatsApp comes with several new updates, including a smaller size and a feature that would notify your friends when you change your contact number.

Technology website Teknepolis reports that the WhatsApp version 2.17.375 takes up less space when downloading and installing. The app is approximately 6MB less in size as nearly 20 libraries that were added in versions above have been removed in this update.

The notification update will inform your friends every time you change your phone number. The feature would work every time the number is changed. Users can also tweak settings to choose which of their contacts would see the update and who cannot.

In an image shared by the WaBetaInfo, the fan site for WhatsApp, we see three options under the Notify my contacts- All contacts, Contacts I have chats with and Custom. The update also modifies 473 files fixing several minor bugs.
