How to download WhatsApp beta for iOS
We recommend that you back up your data (especially your WhatsApp chat history) before going through this process, so as to protect it in the event of anything unusual.
You are required to first download TestFlight from App Store. After installing it, you should then visit the WhatsApp Messenger beta sign-up link on your iPhone or iPad to request for a slot.
You should accept the terms and conditions, and receive an invite, which upon accepting should grant you the allowance to test WhatsApp beta for iOS.
When you click on install, WhatsApp will ask you to replace the current app version with the test version. Check that and then select “Open” to unveil the new WhatsApp beta app.

If you are interested in joining the iOS beta programme for WhatsApp, you should register for it sooner as slots might be limited. It is noted that WhatsApp beta for iOS gets updates every two days.
