CATCH-UP BUTTON BUG
Yesterday, the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.17.12 update has been released. The update brings to group admins a new feature to moderate groups: the ability to delete all messages for everyone in their groups. But this is not only the only thing introduced in the update because a lot of users were experiencing an issue when opening chats:
After installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.17.12 update, probably you immediately noticed that the catch-up button always showed up in your chats without a real reason. This button is normally visible when you receive a mention from a participant in a group but it is broken in this beta version and a lot of users reported the problem. This is a bug and things like that may happen when using the beta version, but WhatsApp has quickly released a bug-fix update that addresses the issue for everyone.
The fix is immediately available after installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.17.13 update, and it is also included in the latest WhatsApp Business for Android 2.22.17.13 beta build, so be sure to keep your version of WhatsApp up to date by updating the app from the Play Store.
