Phonandroid Whatsapp: a bug makes the app plant on some iPhone

WhatsApp is the victim of an important bug.On some iPhone, the instant messaging application has been planting completely for a few hours.However, WhatsApp has not deployed any recently update.The problem would come directly from Meta servers (ex-Facebook), the mail house of messaging.

As our colleagues from 9TO5mac report, the IOS application of Whatsapp suffers from serious dysfunction.According to many testimonies that appeared on the web, WhatsApp on iPhone plants a few seconds after the user launched the application.We met this bug on several terminals at our disposal.The bug is intermittent on certain units: it happens that the app is launching properly.

Under these conditions, users are unable to access their messages or contacts.Obviously, this dysfunction concerns resident users around the world.Information was notably relayed by Indian and American media.

Whatsapp on iPhone is the victim of a serious bug

Likewise, the bug does not seem confined to certain versions of iOS.The problem appeared on phones having installed the last update of the operating system, such as iOS 15.2, or older iterations, like iOS 14 or iOS 15.1.Note that the bug affects both the standard version of the app and the business version, the app reserved for small businesses of small businesses.

However, it seems that no WhatsApp update has been deployed recently.The WhatsApp page on the App Store does not mention new firmware.In this context, it is likely that the dysfunction will be directly occurred on Meta servers, formerly Facebook, the parent company of WhatsApp since 2014.There is nothing you can do to correct the shot.

Currently, the company has not communicated on this large -scale bug, despite the influx of testimonies.While waiting for Meta engineers to find where the dysfunction comes from and deploy a correction, we invite you to test one of the alternative messaging to WhatsApp, like Signal, Telegram or Olvid.Have you encountered a similar problem on your iPhone?We are waiting for your opinion in the comments.
