WhatsApp update causes crashes on smartphones: what's wrong with it

Some WhatsApp users who have installed the latest beta version of the app have encountered serious glitches that make it unusable. The problem appeared in WhatsApp beta 2.24.24.5 and manifests itself as a green screen that covers the entire app and prevents it from being used.

User complaints about the bug are increasing on social media, and it is becoming quite well-known among users who often test new features in beta versions of apps. The situation once again reminds us of the possible risks of using beta software.

The main cause of the malfunction is a crash that results in a green screen when opening any chat. The screen completely blocks the application's functionality, forcing users to close WhatsApp forcibly.

At the moment, the problem is only fixed in the beta version of the application, so users of the stable version can stay calm, their program works without failures. However, for those who decided to test the new functionality, it became an unexpected nuisance.

It's important to note that although the problem only affected the beta version, not all of its users encountered this error. In some cases, the application continues to work normally, which indicates possible peculiarities in the configurations of individual devices.

Crashes in beta versions are common, as they are designed to help developers fix all possible bugs before the official release.

For users who have already installed the problematic version, experts advise to temporarily revert to the previous release of the program. However, this task can be difficult because WhatsApp beta versions are released as application packages instead of standard APK files. To do this, you need to use special instructions for installing older versions, or wait for a stable version with a fix.

WhatsApp developers may already be aware of the situation, as users are actively sharing their experience of crashes on different platforms. They are expected to provide an update with a fix for the problem in the near future. WhatsApp always maintains close communication with beta testers, which allows them to respond quickly to issues that arise during testing.

For those who have not yet installed the beta version, experts recommend not to rush and wait for a stable update that will be safe and stable to use.
