WhatsApp for Android and iPhone users crashed when they tried to access the app or send media after downloading the latest update. Here's how to resolve it.
WhatsApp had released the beta for Android of two versions - 2.22.4.6 and 2.22.4.7, which were reportedly affected by an unexplained bug that led them to crash when users tried to open the app or share photos or videos. However, according to the latest information from WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned messaging app has released a fix for the bug that caused it to crash. The latest WhatsApp update includes the fix to the crashing bug only and does not reveal the cause of the problem.
When installing the 2.21.24.11 update on WhatsApp beta for Android, some users experienced constant crashes on Android 12. As a result, WhatsApp users are advised to back up their data on Google Drive before updating to the latest version of the beta update. This way WhatsApp users can prevent their data from being lost. Another solution for users who are facing the WhatsApp crashing bug is to revert to the older version by keeping their existing data saved. So, here’s the step-by-step guide for you to move back to the previous version of WhatsApp.
