How to update to 8.1

Got one today. 2 things I want to do. Want a file manager but seems there not that option and the other thing is whatsapp

File picker ?

Search for Aerize explorer...it's free, whatsapp works fine for me...and the file picker works fine as well, hope it is integrated to the email app for the final update... It's annoying to have to get around it when you want to attach multiple files.

Thank you. Been looking for a file manager. Other 2i found is pretty basic but still bettr then nothing. I need to upgrade my OS to 8.1 to use it and I guess that is what's needed for whatsapp to work.

ok. i updated phone to 8.1 . Aerize explorer work now , but whatsapp download gave me a .sis file. boohoo.

Lol? What get whatsapp from the store dude...where are you getting a sis file from??? Whatsapp works even without updating to 8.1 preview.

it dont work for me. i updated to 8.1 and it gave me a .sis. i went to whatsapp site. didnt found it in store. when i was 8.0 it didnt even gave me anything so in a strange way this is progress. atleast i got something now even if it s wrong file . lol . hope they fix it because im looking for alternatives. WeChat doesnt look too bad and Facebook Chat app cross platform too.

Seems it was pulled from the store with concerns of its notification features on wp8, that do not actually affect wp8.1 ...it was removed last week so anytime it'll return to the store coz Microsoft themselves are working on the issue, sorry i didn't realize coz mine works just ok, I'll tell you when it returns... Sis. Version definitely not going to work.

I actually liked wechat more than whatsapp...just couldn't get enough people on that wagon, anyway use this time to give those other i.m a try i think we have a telegraph app too... That's a good one apparently, others i think are mostly aimed at teens.

I picked up folders beta yesterday...seems like a good one but they all seem to have the same features... I'm also still running the first version of the update, maybe I'll update to the second if i find the patience. Are you running the second? Can you check if they have included the data toggle setting on the action center? Really annoying coz i use it alot more than wifi and i need to go back home everytime to toggle it.

Data tggle ? Will try tomorrow to find. I deleted weChat after i found out that faceb00k messenger work on me AND my wifes phone. She has android. But the pain with fb messenger is it beep whole night cause im on a few groops but i found that Cortana (the A.i.) have a setting for quiet hours ...or was that on the phone ? .

If i slide down from top to bottom it slide open something with wifi setting
no i dont kknow what version i have
. That is.. If i drag my finger from way top. Like in from nokia logo down owermy screen it. Slide open a menu.

The slide down from top to bottom is the notification and action center... I was asking something to do with it but nevermind now and yes the quite hours can be activated via settings but also via cortana... I don't use them myself.

When is 8.1 here ? Think its beginning of next month, but im not sure.

Wow. I downloaded a piano. Lol and awesome!

Whatsapp work on my phone now. They came back

good to know...

Never turn on narrator thing...it'll drive you completely crazy...but incase you do, just press and hold volume up + windows key until it turns off
by the way the official file manager for windows phone 8.1 is out, search for files in store...
