The latest software updates don’t always improve the user experience. As a downside to the improvements and optimizations theoretically made by developers with the most recent releases, there are also hitches and bugs that could cause some annoyance for those who usually use a certain program or even their personal smartphone, with consequences undoubtedly impacting the work activity.

What is happening in these hours with WhatsApp captures the initial preamble in the best possible way. As reported by the “usual” WABetaInfo, it seems that the instant messaging app is dealing with some critical bugs introduced in the latest beta versions for Android and iOS smartphones. And this is not a secondary problem, taking into account the massive use of the program (both for work reasons and for mere entertainment) and the seriousness of the defect: according to the copious reports that can be read on the web, many users would not in fact be able to able to start WhatsApp after uploading a new status update or sending messages in group chats.
As reiterated at the beginning, the bug indiscriminately affects owners of Android and iOS smartphones and, in particular, versions 2.21.24.11 and 2.21.240.14 of the WhatsApp Beta apps respectively for the “green robot” and iPhone. If you are also struggling with this problem, we explain how to solve it.
First, it must be said that there is a quick fix: a downgrade to an older beta version of WhatsApp. iPhone users will be able to use TestFlight, taking care to select WhatsApp Messenger and access the “Previous builds” section, where it will be possible to proceed with the download of the penultimate beta of the messaging app; however, we recommend that you back up your history before installing the new update, in order to avoid possible risks deriving from further hitches.
