WhatsApp Releases Update to Resolve Widget Issue on Android Devices
WhatsApp, the meta-owned instant messaging app, has released a bug fix beta update to fix the app’s widget issue on Android devices.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, which follows WhatsApp, the meta-owned app recently rolled out multi-account support on Android devices.
This feature makes it possible to add new accounts to the same device without using parallel apps. However, this update also caused an issue with the app’s widgets, and it appears the issue was widespread, the report added.
After installing the recent WhatsApp beta update for Android, many users expressed their displeasure with the app’s widget. The widget wouldn’t load and couldn’t display the latest incoming messages. Many users depend on the WhatsApp widget to avoid opening the app repeatedly. As a result, this bug was not very pleasant.
Rebooting the device did not solve the problem, so users had to wait for another update to fix the problem. But now a report confirms that WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.17.13 is a bug fix update that fixes the said issue, so you can finally start using the app’s widget without this error.
Remember to install the latest WhatsApp beta Android 2.23.17.13 update from the Google Play Store. This update contains a fix for the issue. Upgrading to this version will allow you to use WhatsApp without error.
At the same time, the instant messaging app also releases a new user interface for the community information screen when opened from the Communities tab. Its purpose is to help new users quickly find what they need in the community. A new customized interface is available when viewing community information. This section contains two tabs that allow users to quickly access both community and announcement information.
