WhatsApp is inviting Android users to beta-test an unreleased version of its application, directly via the Google Play store.

Android Police was the first to spot the WhatsApp beta-testing program, noting that WhatsApp has been providing updates of its app via its own site, but users had to agree to allow their devices to permit installations “from untrusted sources,” because those updates weren’t coming via Google Play.

Rita El Khoury of Android Police added:
