CRASH
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.3.10.70 update, we announced that WhatsApp was working on a feature to allow users to choose their favorite contacts to quickly place calls. With this enhancement, WhatsApp aims to provide users with a more personalized calling experience, as some shortcuts to favorite contacts will be added to the calls tab. This update has also been released on the App Store, making it accessible to a wider audience of iOS users. However, after installing the WhatsApp for iOS 24.3.70 update, it appears that this version prevented a certain number of users from using the app:
The official changelog highlights that WhatsApp is releasing new text formatting options, including quotes, bullets, numbered lists, and inline code. These additions are designed to enhance the visual appeal and clarity of messages, offering users a more flexible experience. In addition, the same update offers an enhanced sticker creation tool, as spotted in the WhatsApp for iOS 24.2.75 update, making it easier for users to create and edit stickers from images.
It is important to note that several users also reported a critical issue in the past few days, expressing frustration and seeking resolution as they were unable to open WhatsApp. Although it is not indicated in the official changelog, we can confirm that a fix for the bug that prevented some users from accessing the app is also available after installing the latest version of WhatsApp from the App Store. A similar bug was also fixed in a recent version of WhatsApp beta for Android, indicating ongoing efforts to address platform-wide issues and enhance user experience. Despite these challenges, it seems that WhatsApp remains committed to addressing user concerns and improving the overall experience on the platform by promptly releasing bug-fix updates.
It is worth mentioning that, if you still don't have one of the features mentioned in the official changelog, some accounts may receive them over the coming weeks. Please stay ahead by regularly updating WhatsApp from the App Store and the TestFlight app to get these features in the future in case you don't have them after installing this update.
The fix for the recent bug that prevented users from opening the app is available for iOS users who install the latest update of WhatsApp from the App Store. Make sure to install this update to enjoy a better user experience.
