WhatsApp Releases Update to Resolve Status Reply Crashes: Here’s What You Need To Know
WhatsApp, the instant messaging app owned by Meta, has released a new bug fix update that fixes a crash when responding to status updates.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is working to comply with new EU regulations by developing third-party chat support. Unfortunately, the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.19.8 update also caused an issue with responding to status updates, and it seems the issue was widespread, according to the report.
A screenshot seen in the report confirmed that the instant messaging app crashes when responding to status updates, making it impossible for users to use the feature.
“Many users rely on this feature every day, even through status reactions, so we understand the inconvenience of crashing when trying to respond to a status update.”
Rebooting the device didn’t solve the problem, so another debug update was needed to find the final solution. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.19.12 from the Google Play Store, WABetaInfo revealed that it is a bug fix update that finally fixes the said issue and restored the ability to respond to status updates, meaning you can finally start responding to status updates without this error.
The fix is applied after the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.19.12 update is installed from the Google Play Store. Make sure you install this build to use the WhatsApp version without any error.
In related news, WhatsApp is also rolling out a feature that lets you switch between tabs again. With this interface, the app aims to better align the app with the latest standards of Material Design 3, providing users with the best modern interface.
The feature that allows users to switch to another tab with a swipe gesture may finally be available again after the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.19.10 update is installed from the Google Play Store.
