WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.15: what's new?

WhatsApp is rolling out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.24.10.15.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is releasing a fix to address a bug with downloading documents, and it's available to everyone!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.7 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a reaction feature from the media viewer screen. This feature would have enhanced the way users can react to images and videos without leaving the media viewer screen, making the reaction process more convenient. Unfortunately, it appears that there was a critical bug with downloading documents after installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.7 update from the Google Play Store, which is affecting all users with this version or newer:

With the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.7 update, several beta testers have reported encountering a critical bug that prevented them from downloading documents in their conversations. Specifically, the issue manifested when users attempted to download any documents, causing the app to display an error message. In fact, it appeared that the issue was initially limited to downloading PDFs, but after further testing, users found that it affected all types of documents. This issue has been reported by a number of beta testers and has created significant inconvenience, impacting their ability to share documents.

Attempts to resolve the issue by restarting the device or force-stopping the app proved to be ineffective. As a result, a new bug fix update was needed for a definitive solution, as announced via our profile on X. This issue was present with the recent update, and since some users have auto-update enabled, they may have received the new version automatically, preventing them from downloading documents. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.15 update from the Google Play Store, it was observed to be a bug-fix update that finally addresses the mentioned issue. This means that users can now downloading documents without encountering any issues.

The fix is rolling out after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.15 update from the Google Play Store. Please, make sure to install this build in order to use a version of WhatsApp without experiencing the bug.
