VIDEO SHARING
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.9.33 update, we announced a favorites feature for the chats tab in development. This feature is designed to allow users to quickly find their favorite contacts and groups with a dedicated filter at the top of the chats list, with the aim to improve both communication and accessibility to these conversations. Unfortunately, it appears that there was a critical bug with sending videos after installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.9.33 update from the Google Play Store, which is affecting a certain number of users:
With the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.9.33 update, several beta testers have reported encountering a critical bug that prevented them from sharing videos in their conversations. Specifically, the issue manifested when users attempted to send videos to contacts, groups, and status updates, causing the app to display an error message. This issue has been reported by a number of beta testers and has created significant inconvenience, impacting their ability to share video content.
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 sharing videos. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.3 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 share videos in their conversations and through status updates without encountering any issues.
The fix is rolling out after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.10.3 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.
