A new bug in the latest beta version of WhatsApp is causing major issues for some users, leaving them unable to use the app due to a green screen glitch. The issue turns the screen green whenever users try to open a chat and makes the app unresponsive. Moreover, while using WhatsApp, users face the whole screen as a block of green with no buttons or chats visible.
WhatsApp green screen issue: Key details
According to Android Authority, the green screen issue has been reported by Android beta testers of WhatsApp using version 2.24.24.5 of the app. While beta versions of apps often come with risks, as they are intended to help developers identify and fix potential bugs, this particular issue has alarmed many WhatsApp beta testers, and they have expressed their frustration over their inability to use the application due to this recurring issue.
Fortunately, there is no such issue on the stable version of WhatsApp. Further, this bug seems to be affecting Android users for now, as no iOS WhatsApp beta testers have reported any such issue till now. Therefore, for users experiencing the green screen issue, the recommended solution is to roll back to an earlier build by installing the latest WhatsApp stable version or beta version 2.24.24.4 of the app.
Given the widespread reports by many beta testers, it is likely that WhatsApp’s development team is working on a fix. Hence, WhatsApp users can expect a patch to be released soon, restoring full functionality.
