STATUS UPDATES
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.3.13 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a fix for status updates. The issue prevented users from properly sharing videos through status updates, causing inconvenience for many users. Unfortunately, it appears that the fix introduced with the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.3.13 update was not effective for everyone and it only worked for certain users. Reports indicate that a significant number of users continued to experience difficulties with video sharing in their status updates, prompting concerns about the overall effectiveness of the update:
The previous update intended to fix the status update bug related to video sharing may not have fully addressed the issue for everyone. Despite the efforts made by the development team, some users were still reporting difficulties in sharing videos through their status updates. This means that some users were still unable to properly connect with their friends and family through status updates, leading to frustration and complaints within the WhatsApp community. In addition, the problem causing shared videos in conversations to remain unplayable appears to persist with the previous update.
Restarting the device or killing the app didn't resolve the issue, so a new bug fix update was needed to get a final solution, as announced from our profile on X. The issue was present with the recent update, and since some users have auto-update enabled, they might have received this version automatically, causing them to experience difficulties in sharing status updates. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.3.15 update from the Google Play Store, we noticed that it is a definitive bug-fix update that finally addresses the mentioned issue. This means that all users should now be able to share status updates and videos thanks to the additional fix introduced in this version.
The fix is rolling out after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.3.15 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.
