WhatsApp Android bug breaks PDF opening with wrong app suggestions

WhatsApp for Android is experiencing a bug that prevents users from opening PDF files correctly. Instead of displaying options like Adobe Reader or Google Drive, users are presented with irrelevant choices such as wallet apps and Google Play services. This issue affects some users selectively, particularly when trying to access PDFs they have sent to themselves or others. Reports indicate that the problem is specific to WhatsApp's file handling, as accessing the same PDFs through the phone's file manager works without issues. Users have found temporary workarounds, such as sharing PDFs to external apps or using WhatsApp Web, although the latter has its own scrolling issues. WhatsApp has not yet acknowledged the bug, but users are encouraged to report it. A fix is expected soon, and some beta users have reported no issues with PDF access.

WhatsApp bug is making messaging app unusable, showing green screen

A bug in the beta version 2.24.24.5 of WhatsApp has caused a green screen glitch that affects users, rendering the app inoperable when accessing chats. This issue primarily impacts beta testers and results in a complete transformation of the display into a solid green hue. Reports of the glitch have been shared across online platforms, with some users experiencing additional related issues, such as the app force-closing upon startup. The bug is confined to the beta version, and stable release users are unaffected. A suggested workaround for those impacted is to revert to an earlier app version, although this process can be complicated. WhatsApp's development team is expected to be working on a patch to resolve the issue.
