On the last Monday of last month, an instability problem began for some WhatsApp Beta users, in which the application could not be opened. The problem was running the application so the user would get the message that an update to the latest version was needed. However, when opening the Google Play Store, no updates appeared available and the application could no longer be opened.
Downdetector Report
Downdetector is a monitoring site for various applications and social networks, such as WhatsApp. According to the website, the failures started at 4:10 pm on the 27th, but only on Android phones, with no reports of problems on iOS. WhatsApp also did not comment on a date for solving the problem.
Meta and Google have not commented
Meta, the company that controls WhatsApp, and Google, which administers Android, have not yet issued a note about the application's flaws in the operating system. On Google Trends, searches such as: “how to update WhatsApp” or “how to exit WhatsApp Beta on android” were on the rise on Monday. In addition, there are complaints from users on various social networks.
How to solve?
Some users have shared a tip that can fix the problem on your phone. Just manually change the date on your phone to a few days ago, usually after your last backup.
It is also possible to delete the app and erase all its data, then install it again and use it normally. The only problem with this solution is that if you don't make a backup, you can lose all your files, such as conversations, photos and videos.
